Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 1 granny smith apple, peeled and grated
  • ¾ cup raisins (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • ½ cup oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin tins with liners or by spraying each cup with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, soda, cinnamon and salt.
  • Stir the grated zucchini, carrot, apple, raisins if using, pecans, and coconut into the flour mixture, just until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, applesauce, oil and vanilla, then pour into the larger mixing bowl with all the other ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Fill each muffin cup with muffin batter almost all the way to the top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes for regular-sized muffins or 16-18 minutes for mini-muffins.

Notes

If opting to include the raisins, plump them in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain before adding to the muffin batter.
