My new discovery is adding vegetable puree to my kid’s snack, pancake, muffin and cupcake. Getting your kids to eat the daily requirement of vegetable could be very challenging adding it to what they love makes it easier. I don’t hide or sneak veggies for them anymore each time am introducing any veggie or fruit we always talk about the nutrients and benefit of the veggie.

This delicious spinach-carrot muffin was made by my 5 years old son all I do is gather the ingredients and help with the oven. Getting the kids involve help them learn and appreciate home cooking.

This recipe uses carrot and spinach puree which is very easy to make. Boil carrot with a little amount of water and puree it, add spinach and water to a blender and puree it. Meanwhile, you can use UGU(pumpkin leave) for this recipe but you have to blanch the leave till soft before blending. Check my banana bread for delightful breakfast
