Happy #MuffinMonday! I am participating in the Muffin Monday group, and am so excited. I love muffins – they are the perfect little vessel of baked goodness. I often make muffins for my family, since they are so easy and delicious. Some of my favorites are my Crumb-Top Blueberry Muffins and Carrot Cake Muffins.

I love making zucchini bread and zucchini muffins and found a recipe that added apples and oats – perfect for a Fall muffin recipe. Zucchini is such a great vegetable to add to muffins and you hardly notice it’s there. #ToddlerLnC doesn’t notice, which is great because I can get some extra veggies for her when she eats these.

Yield 18-20 muffins

Apple Zucchini Muffin Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, room temperature
– 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
– 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
– 1 large Egg
– 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
– 2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour
– 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
– 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
– 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
– 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon Salt
– 1/2 cup Milk
– 1 Apple, peeled, cored, and grated
– 1 medium Zucchini, grated and pressed between paper towels to drain

Apple Zucchini Muffin Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375F. Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the Butter and Brown Sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and add in the Greek Yogurt, Egg and Vanilla Bean Paste. Beat to combine.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Flour, Oats, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Cinnamon and Salt. Slowly add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring only to combine and not over-mixing.
4. Remove from your stand mixer and add in the Milk, Apple and Zucchini. Fold the mixture together so you do not over-mix it.
5. With an ice cream scoop or measuring cup, evenly distribute the batter between the muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let it cook for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Until next time,
LOVE & CONFECTIONS!

    Terri,
    These muffins look yummy! I often finely shred and freeze my zucchini when it's coming at me from all directions (the garden & the farm share). Once thawed, it's super easy to drain really well because the simple act of freezing breaks down those plant cell walls and releases the pesky water. Point of my rambling science lesson is–I can make your muffins all Fall and into winter with my frozen zucchini!
    Thanks!

    I love adding zucchini to baked goods since hardly anyone every notices and it adds a lot of moisture. I'd just call these delicious apple muffins, Terri. 🙂 I'm so glad you've joined us!

    I have yet to use zucchini for baking. If I can find some this weekend, I'll have to make your lovely muffins.
