I was looking through a cookbook and found a couple of recipes that I thought looked good. I love having healthy (okay..somewhat healthy) after school snacks for the kids–or else they ransack the pantry looking for granola bars and fruit snacks. These muffins seemed like they would be worth trying. I have to admit, they were pretty good! My husband did say that he thought they were a little too healthy (I tend to do that–hey, at least I didn’t put pureed beans in them!) They have a VERY dense texture, but I feel like they would fill the kids up and would be great in lunches. We have three friends over and they all came back for seconds 🙂

If you don’t have Buy Me a Pie! app installed you’ll see the list with ingredients right after downloading it
Instructions
- Mix together the wet ingredients. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Put muffins in a greased muffin tin and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes (until they are browned on top and have a cake-like texture). You could use all raisins or all chocolate chips--personally I think chocolate makes everything taste better!

I noticed a while back that you had bought carrots when they were super cheap, shredded them and put them in the freezer. Have you ever done this with potatoes?
Carrots, celery, and onions work great in the freezer for later. Potatoes would not work as well because they will go brown when they are exposed to the air. I am sure there is a way around this, but I find it easier to watch the sales and buy pre-shredded hash browns and just keep those stocked in your freezer. If you watch the sales you can get 2lbs. of hash browns for around $1.25. That is worth my time 🙂
Hope that helps.
Thanks so much for the help and your great blog!
I have the long cooking Oats in my storage – could they be used in the Muffin recipe??
