Description

If I want my picky little guy to eat something nutritious, I just toss it in a muffin and he gobbles it up. Carson has a pretty good eye for detecting veggies, so I always puree them instead of shredding to help disguise whatever I want to add to my muffin recipes. Today I used pureed zucchini to make zucchini bread muffins. They are a huge hit in our house.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • ½ cups Canola Or Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cups Applesauce
  • 2 cups Shredded Or Pureed Zucchini
  • 1 cube Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 3 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • ½ cups Chopped Pecans (or Walnuts)

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin tin with nonstick baking spray or use muffin liners. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, applesauce and pureed or shredded zucchini. Add all the dry ingredients (including sugar) and mix until everything is combined. Add nuts and pour the batter into muffin tins, filling each tin about 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Recipe yields about 12-14 muffins.

Can this recipe be done with pear or pumpkin? I assume it can be used with almost anything.

Made these today & was disappointed at the lack of sweetness and flavor. They are good, basic rolls for dinner though.

Made these for the first time today with my daughter as our first attempt at any zucchini bread. The result wasn’t what I was expecting – despite the spices, they really didn’t have much flavor. I think they would benefit from some additional sweetness and spice.
