Introduction

If you can bake with zucchini, then why not with cucumber? This no sugar-added recipe is perfect for that cucumber sitting in your fridge that is starting to loose its crunch. Great for getting a veggie and small fruit serving! With cream cheese frosting they'd taste just like carrot cake muffins. If you can bake with zucchini, then why not with cucumber?

Ingredients

    1 egg
    1 c. flour
    1 ½ t. cinnamon
    1 t. baking powder
    ½ t. baking soda
    1 T. oil
    ¼ c. maple syrup
    ¼ c. applesauce
    ½ c. grated carrots
    ½ c. grated cucumber
    ¼ c. raisins
    ¼ c. walnuts

Tips

If you have a food processor then prep time is WAY shorter--unfortunately grating baby carrots with a cheese grater tends to take a while.
Be sure to squeeze the grated cucumber since it is very liquidy!


Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Mix wet ingredients and grated veggies together in a large bowl. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl and fold into the wet mixture. Add the raisins and walnuts last. Grease a muffin pan and fill tins 3/4 full.

Bake at 350F for ~20min.

Serving Size: makes 9 standard-sized muffins
