Banana Cauliflower Muffins

I love banana bread, its probably one of my favorites.  I was talking with a coworker who has a picky toddler and was trying to give her ideas for ways to sneak some veggies in her diet.  We came to banana bread, I think most kids like banana bread.  I researched some recipes and found one I really like, mostly because there wasn't any white sugar added!  I decided to try making these muffins with my pre-made pureed cauliflower.  You can see how I prepare my cauliflower in my post about mac and cheese.  The results were very yummy and my coworkers picky daughter and my kids gobbled them up!

Ingredients:

3 very ripe bananas
1/4 cup honey
1 TBSP pure vanilla extract
1 TBSP coconut oil melted
1 egg
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1.5 cups whole wheat flour
1 TSP baking soda
1/4 TSP salt
2 TSP cinnamon
4 oz puree cauliflower

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare muffin tin with liners ( I use IF YOU CARE liners )
2) In a stand up mixer combine bananas, honey, vanilla, coconut oil, eggs, yogurt, and cauliflower until lumps are gone.
3) In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon
4) Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined
5) Scoop mixture into muffin tins, if wanted add chocolate chips on top.
6) Bake for 20-25 minutes

Store in airtight container
Enjoy!
