I originally found these yummy delights here. Erin Chase is one of the most creative moms I have found online, she literally makes each and every dinner for her family of four, for just $5. I knew when I saw these muffins I had to give them a try. I took a bit of a spin on them and thought i’d share : )

I usually double the recipe and freeze them! You can pop them out of the freezer and microwave to thaw for an instant healthy snack! First time I make banana and shredded carrot – VERY tasty. This time banana and pear. The kids love them, and so does the husband!
