Ingredients
-
1 1/2 c zucchini, grated
1 1/2 c rolled oats (not instant)
1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
2 t baking soda
2 t cream of tartar
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/2 c honey
1/4 c pineapple juice concentrate
1 t vanilla
3/4 c applesauce, unsweetened
8 oz crushed pineapple, drained
2 egg whites
6 dried apricots, finely chopped
1/4 c pecans, chopped
2 T flax meal
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat two muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray. Grate zucchini and place in paper towels or cotton cloth; squeeze to remove moisture. In a mixing bowl combine oats, flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and spices. In a separate bowl combine honey, applesauce, drained pineapple, apricots, vanilla, and pineapple juice. Stir in egg whites. Combine the wet mixture with the dry; stir only until combined. Portion out 18 muffins in the prepared tins. Combine pecans with flax meal; top each muffin with 1/2 teaspoon of mixture. Bake for 20 minutes.

Nutritious and delicious - I not only enjoy these muffins for breakfast, but also with a hot cup of coffee (or tea) in the afternoon. For an extra treat, I'll sometimes top with marmalade or my favorite jam. (This recipe provides another great way to make use of my abundant supply of zucchini.) - 10/6/09
