Carrot Beet Muffin

When my son comes home after school hungry, he is no mood to eat rice or bread. So I thought of making muffins with carrot and beetroot. I reduced the sugar. This muffin was a hit with my son. He had 3 of them.

Carrot Beetroot Muffins
Ingredients:

Flour(Mix of All purpose, Whole Wheat, Oat Bran, Wheat germ) - 1 cup
Carrot and Beetroot grated - 1 cup
Orange zest - 1tsp
Salt - 1/4tsp
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Sugar - 2 tsp to 1/4 cup
(I used 2tsp as I don't want the after school snack loaded with sugar)

Butter - 2 to 3 Tbsp
Egg - 1
Milk - 1/4 cup
Vanilla extract - 1/4tsp

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400F.  In a bowl, beat egg and add vanilla, milk, butter and sugar and mix well.
Add Flour and carrot beet and orange zest and mix.
Scoop the batter and add to muffin cups.

Bake for 20-25 mins.

Enjoy the flavorful moist healthy Muffins.

Breakfast Icecream

Few months back I came across a recipe of breakfast ice cream in tv news.
I was really amused at how much we need to try hard to get our kids to eat.
I am yet to try the recipe. I will try it out and let you guys know the recipe and how it came out.
