My daughter is obsessed with muffins, and I love giving them to her (usually everyday). Not only do they put a smile on her face, but they’re also healthy because I pack them with good-for-you veggies! (I promise, she never knows the difference!).

I have about 60 mini muffins in my freezer at all times – a few different flavors – and love to pull them out for a quick breakfast, snack, or lunchtime treat.

With school season here again, I knew a lot of you would be interested in making some healthier snacks for your kiddos, so I reached out to Sara Goldstein, who I knew could knock this out of the park. And to no surprise, she did!

Below we’re sharing 4 recipes that incorporate vegetables like sweet potato, avocado, corn, and zucchini! Sara’s secret is to puree the veggies with some other liquid ingredients so that there are no little pieces of veggies that can easily be spotted (we’re looking at you, picky eaters). They are all delicious and are the perfect back-to-school snacks!
