Hi Friends!

It's been over 4 years since I first shared these Veggie Corn Muffins so I thought they deserved another minute in the spotlight! You guys know I love my muffins, and I'm pretty good at packing veggies into them. A few examples:

I keep my muffin recipes lightly sweetened, but all of the above do trend towards the typical sweet baked good. These Veggie Corn Muffins are definitely more on the savory side. They pair better as a dinner side dish than a breakfast but they're still easy to throw together, pretty kid-friendly and easy to customize.

I revamped the recipe slightly from the one I first published but man, I forgot how much I loved these. Last week I enjoyed one for an afternoon snack every day.  I made them full-sized and I'll be honest, my kids didn't eat them the first time I served them. But next time I might try making mini-muffins to give them a little more kid appeal.

Since they're a more savory muffin, I like to add some shredded cheese. My assistant enjoyed eating that during my photo shoot.

Feel free use whatever veggies you want in these! I used carrots, zucchini and corn. Shredded sweet potato or yellow squash would be good too!
