WHITEHALL, Mich. (WOOD) — Zoe Fauble, an 18-year-old from Whitehall, created a bean muffin so popular that it was going to be served in some Michigan schools. That’s until the federal government stepped in and rejected it.

“We brought them to a fourth grade classroom,” Fauble said. “One of the fourth graders said it tasted like a donut.”

The muffin has apples, pureed sweet potatoes and white navy beans.

“A lot of people were shocked at how good it tasted,” Fauble said. “And how there’s beans in it.”

But the USDA said the muffin could not be served in school cafeterias. Penczar said that because the beans are pureed, they aren’t visible. Under USDA standards, that means the muffin doesn’t qualify as protein.
