Toddler Muffins

I really don't like that name... although Maverick does love these!!  (but so do I!)  :) 

Toddler Muffins

1 cup brown sugar  (can use less)

½ cup plain or vanilla yogurt (heaping)

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

¼ cup butter, softened

4 eggs

1 can pumpkin puree (15 oz.)

1 cup finely shredded carrots (about 2 medium carrots)

3-4 very ripe bananas, mashed (the riper the better)

1¼ cups quick oats

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. baking soda

2½ tsp. ground cinnamon

⅛ tsp. nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a muffin tin with liners.  Cream together the sugar, yogurt, applesauce and butter.  Add eggs, pumpkin, carrots, and bananas.  Mix well. 

In another bowl, mix together the oats, both flours, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.  When combined add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.  

Scoop batter into the muffin liners.  Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean. 

Remove from muffin pan and place on cooling rack.  Makes about 20-24 regular sized muffins.  These freeze well.
