Vegetable muffins

We try to make meals which are healthy,easy to make and appealing for our 6 year old to eat. We made this muffin which serves as good breakfast,lunch or snack.

Ingredients

Whole wheat flour   - 1 cup

All purpose flour      - 1 cup

Shredded zucchini  - 1/2 cup

Sweet potato           -  1/2 cup(shredded)

Spinach                   - 1/4 cup(chopped fine)

Baking powder       -  2 tsps

Baking soda.            - 1/4 tsp

Egg                          - 1(room temperature)

Buttermilk                 - 1 cup

Butter                        - 1/3 cup

Salt                            - as per taste

Heat the oven to 400 F. In the meantime steam cook the vegetables. Melt the butter and add this to the vegetables. Let it cool to room temperature. In a bowl add the flours,baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix well. Add the buttermilk to the vegetable mixture once it is cool, mix well. To this vegetable mixture add the egg and blend with a fork well. Make a hole in the center of the flour mixture and mix well. Grease the muffin pan and add the mixture into the cups.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center of muffin comes out clean.This proportion makes about 10-12 small muffins.

Tips:

1.You can use quinoa flour or almond flour instead of the whole wheat flour.

2.Spices of your choice can be added to give an extra flavour to the muffins.

3.Any vegetables of your choice could be added, I used the ones I had available.
4.The shredded can be added directly to the flour instead of steaming.
