Don't tell the Kids!

I just tryed an experiment with food. I made some squash muffins to see if everyone liked them. Big hit! Even some picky kids that wouldn't touch squash with a 10 foot pole ate them. First of all, if you have one of those picky kids, don't let them in the kitchen while you are making them, second if they ask what they are, they are banana muffins. Not entirely a lie I used the banana muffin recipe....

Here it is:

Banana surprise muffins

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

2 lg eggs
3/4 c. honey or brown sugar
1 lg squash or zucchini peeled and shredded
3/4 c. milk or buttermilk
1/3 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla

mix together until just blended.
Put into muffin tins.

Mix in a separate bowl:
1 c. flour
1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. brown sugar

mix with a fork until crumbly
crumble onto tops of muffins.

Bake in 375 degree oven for 15 min. then let cool
Makes 12 muffins
