Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup applesauce
1 cup carrot, grated
1 cup zucchini, grated
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400*.
  • In large bowl, whisk together oil and sugar. Beat in egg, then applesauce. Stir in carrots and zucchini.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Fold dry ingredients into wet until just mixed. Spoon batter to the very top of sprayed, paper lined muffin cups and bake 18-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

  • For moist and flavorful muffins, use freshly grated carrots and zucchini. Grating them finely will ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
  • To enhance the sweetness of the muffins, use ripe bananas. Mash them well to incorporate them smoothly into the batter.
  • For a nutty flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. You can also use other nuts or seeds, such as almonds, sunflower seeds, or flaxseeds.
  • For a more decadent muffin, use a combination of white and brown sugar. Brown sugar will add a richer flavor and moist texture.
  • To make the muffins gluten-free, use gluten-free flour. You can also use a combination of almond flour and oat flour for a healthier option.
  • For a vegan version, use flax eggs instead of chicken eggs. To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Conclusion:

These carrot zucchini muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are packed with nutritious ingredients like carrots, zucchini, bananas, and nuts. They are also naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan. With their moist texture, sweet flavor, and wholesome ingredients, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone.
