Another Sneaky Muffin Recipe, Spiced Carrot Muffins & Potluck Sunday

Well it is great to be back on track again with Potluck Sunday. Today I want to share a yummy muffin recipe that has been Muffin Man Approved!!! Yes that's right Mr. Carson has gave these muffins a thumbs up. As usual these are sneaky muffins which mean I have disguised the muffin with some type of vegetable.

In the past you have heard me talk about how Carson will not eat any vegetables. The only way to get him to eat veggies or beans is to sneak them in where ever I can. Usually that's in muffin form. So around our house Carson is know as "The Muffin Man" I keep hoping he grows out of this, but it seems like we are still stuck in this phase.

Carson is so bad that he can detect the veggies even if I shred them. So what I have to do is puree all the vegetables first and then add them to my muffin recipes. This can be a bit time consuming so every other month I set aside one afternoon to puree all sorts of different veggies and beans and then store them in the freezer. This way I always have some type of vegetable or bean on hand to throw in a Muffin or Brownie recipe.

Zucchini Muffins are Carson's favorite so, I always make sure I have some one hand to make at a moments notice. If you click on the link for my Zucchini Muffins in that post I showed you how I puree and freeze vegetables to use in muffins and quick breads. It's really a great time saver and the perfect disguise if you have a picky veggie eater like me.

OK back to these wonderful muffins. I had plenty of pureed carrots in the freezer so, muffins it was. I found a recipe for Spiced Carrot Muffins online. I did adapted the recipe a bit because the batter was just to bland for my taste. I am sure the original recipe was good, but I know if I don't like the taste neither will Carson.

These carrot muffins baked up nicely with a pretty orange tint to them. Which made it perfect for me to disguise them a bit more and call them Pumpkin Muffins. If I told Carson they were Carrot Muffins he wouldn't of touched them. He asked me if he had these muffins before. I told him yes you have this is your favorite pumpkin bread.

Mommy just made them into muffins instead. Carson said I love Pumpkin Muffins so he grabbed one and gobbled it down. Another mission accomplished!!! I think raisins would be a nice addition to this muffin recipe. So next time I want to add raisins to half of the batter.

So today I am bringing some yummy muffins to our Sunday Potluck. Do you have a recipe you would like to contribute to the potluck? If so then link directly to your post not your homepage. And please include a link back to Mommy's Kitchen. That way everyone can see all the delicious recipe posts. I also want to say thank you to everyone who participates in my Potluck Sunday posts. It just wouldn't be the same if everyone did not link up. Now go link up those recipes. I cant wait to see what everyone is bringing.

The batter turns out so pretty and orange in color.


Let cool and enjoy.
