  • Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
* 2 cups whole wheat flour * 1/4 cup wheat bran * 1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed * 2 teaspoons baking powder * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg * 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 1 cup milk (2%) * 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce * 2 eggs * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 3/4 cup finely shredded zucchini * 3/4 cup finely shredded carrots * 1tsp granulated sugar
Directions
Grease 12 standard muffin cups. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla.

Stir milk mixture into the flour mixture just until flour is moistened. Batter will be lumpy. Set aside 1 tablespoon each shredded zucchini and carrots. Fold remaining zucchini and carrots into the batter. Divide batter among the muffin pan cups. Sprinkle with reserved zucchini and carrot and a little granulated sugar.

Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until centres spring back when lightly touched with finger. Cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
Makes about 1 dozen muffins.

     Of all of the "healthified" muffin recipes from SP that I've tried, this is by far the best yet! I made the recipe exactly as is, except I doubled the cinnamon, and they were great. 2nd time, I also added 1/2 c. raisins and that was awesome! A keeper recipe for sure! - 11/7/09

     I added walnuts and these turned out great! Just what I was looking for as a early morning pre-workout snack. - 9/30/07

     I switched the wheat bran for 1/2 cup of rolled oat. Very light and fluffy dough. Very good taste. - 8/20/17

     These are good, but they're missing something. I noticed that some people added extra spices or other ingredients. I think doubling the spices and adding raisins or nuts would put these over the top. They are definitely nice and moist. They're a bit on the heavy side, but many good muffins are. - 9/2/12

     Tasty and good as a breakfast muffin. The addition of walnuts other raters have suggested sounds like a good one. - 10/24/07

     These muffins were nice and moist. It is a good way to get zucchini past my kids. I also has a good fiber content. Next time I make them, I will probably add raisins or walnuts which would make the over the top IMO. - 8/19/07
