After I blogged about those sneaky spinach brownies that weren’t to my particular liking a few weeks ago my best buddy Chelsea sent me a recipe that she had she revised for the following nutrient packed veggie bread. She actually turns the recipe into muffins which when topped with a homemade cream cheese frosting makes them more like cupcakes. Omigosh! These little tasty treats were sooooo… good.
Her revisions to the recipe are as follows (I followed her revisions exactly)
- Whole wheat flour instead of white flour
- 1 cup of sugar in lieu of 2 cups
- 1/2 cup apple sauce and 1/4 cup oil in lieu of 3/4 cup oil
- 1 tsp. baking powder in lieu of 1/4 tsp. baking powder
When cooked as muffins, cook for 22-26 minutes.
Chelsea usually serves these muffins with breakfast but she suggested that homemade cream cheese frosting would make them more “treat-like”. My frosting was made up of 1 cup fat free whipped cream cheese, 2 tbsp. honey, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 tbsp. sugar, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. lemon juice. All ingredients were mixed with a handmixer. After I frosted the muffins I topped them with an equal mixture of brown sugar and chopped walnuts.
Recipe Rating: 4.5 out 5 stars! I loved them!

Okay Missy,
