Zucchini Apple Muffins

So I found these on this website (thank you pinterest) and tried them last week. They are delicious! The apples add just enough flavor! Who knew the two would make a great combo!

Ingredients for Zucchini Apple Muffins
  • 2 C grated zucchini
  • 2 C diced granny smith apples
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 C light oil
  • 2 1/2 C sugar
  • 3 C all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • 3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 tsp of vanilla grounds)
Instructions for Zucchini Apple Muffins
  1. Preheat oven to 350°, and grease muffin pan with butter/flour, or non-stick spray. Set aside.
  2. In bowl 1, whisk eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar to combine, and then add zucchini.
  3. In bowl 2, sift all dry ingredients (baking powder/soda, flour, cinnamon, and salt).
  4. In bowl 3, toss diced apple pieces in some flour. (This will prevent the pieces from sinking to the bottom of your muffins.)
  5. Add bowl 2 to bowl 1, and stir gently. Do not over-mix.
  6. Lastly, toss in the apple pieces from bowl 3, and gently fold to combine.
  7. Dish into muffin cups, and (this next part is completely optional) sprinkle tops with raw sugar, for a nice sugary crunchy top.
  8. Bake at 350 for 20-25 or until toothpick comes out clean.
