Back to School Recipe: Fruit and Veggie Muffins

Grab 'n go breakfasts don't have to consist of pastries, cereal bars, and store-bought waffles. Bake a batch of these nutrient-packed muffins on the weekend and pair with fresh fruit, a hard-boiled egg, or yogurt for a quick and energizing breakfast, fit for the whole family. These moist slightly sweet muffins are a great way to sneak in more fruits and vegetables to your kids', and your own, diet. They also make for a great afterschool snack and freeze well for serving later.
