My kid’s diet can be sneakily supplemented with vegetables and fiber thanks to these tasty muffins. You may easily swap out different fruits and vegetables as well. I’ve tried banana, pear, and zucchini.

Reviews
I made this recipe as it was written and loved the little muffins. I made them into bite size muffins so they were just a mouthful of moist, tender, flavorful goodness. I bake the tiny muffins for 15 to 16 minutes instead of 25. I would not change the carrot part of the recipe, but I think one could substitute other fruits if apples are not pleasing.
No changes necessary! Absolutely delicious!
4.2.19 Just really liked everything about these muffins. They’re tender from the buttermilk, moist from the apples, texture is spot on perfect, and there’s just enough sweetness to satisfy you. This one’s a keeper, thanks for sharing your recipe.
