Steps:
- mix wet ingredients together well, mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl, combine the two by hand.
- pour batter into loaf pans or pour batter into mini muffin or regular muffin pans.
- bake in 350 degree oven.
- to get the most liquid out of the zucchini and carrots, freeze and defrost the shredded vegetables, the liquid will easily be squeezed out and contribute to a thicker batter, without doing this the batter will be a bit runnier and tend not to rise as nicely.

EXQUISITE CARROT & ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
These are my family's favorite muffins--they are always gone within the first day or two of making them. They smell so good coming out of the oven, the texture is great, and they are pretty healthy too! My kids have no idea they're filled with veggies. I always double this recipe. If I wasn't on a diet, I'd whip up a batch of cream cheese icing to go on top. Mmm, that would be good! NOTE: I've tried these with grated veggies and shredded, and both turn out excellent.
