this is a muffin I make with my son to put in his lunches. it is adapted from a friends zucchini muffin recipe. there is zucchini, carrots, bananas and applesauce, wholesome, sweet, moist, and irresistible. I don't have to hide the veggies, they are part of what makes them worth eating.

Time 45m

Yield 48 mini muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups zucchini, shredded, and drained of extra liquid
1 cup carrot, shredded and drained of extra liquid
2 eggs
2 small bananas, smashed
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped

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.
