Ingredients
* Nonstick cooking spray* 1 cup firmly packed light/dark brown sugar* 1/2 cup natural peanut butter* 1/2 cup cauliflower puree* 1/2 cup banana puree* 1 large egg white* 1 cup whole-wheat flour* 1 tsp baking powder* 1 tsp baking soda* 1/2 tsp salt
Directions
* Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper baking cups.
* In a large mixing bowl, mis 1/2 cup of the brown sugar with the peanut butter, the cauliflower and banana purees, and the egg white, using a wooden spoon.
* Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl or zipper-lock bag and stir or shake to mix. Add to the bowl with the peanut butter mixture and stir just to combine (the batter will be a little lumpy - do not overmix). Add the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar and stir once or twice.
* Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake until the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center, 15-20 minutes. Turn the muffins out onto a rack to cool.
* Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or wrap individually and freeze for up to 1 month.

    I used more banana instead of cauliflower and they were great! My little guy likes them! - 5/14/08

    These are great! I used applesauce rather than cauliflower puree, and egg substitute for the egg white. I doubled the recipe and got 18 kinda big muffins - I could have done 24 regular size if I'd had the self control :) Next time I'm going to try adding a bit of cinnamon to the batter. - 4/21/08

    These are really delicious. The PB makes them really moist and a little gooey. My kids love them too!! - 1/10/08
