This is the muffin recipe I took to Peter and Lia after Eliza was born. Posted at Moriah's request.
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 1/2 cups finely shredded unpeeled zucchini
- 1 cup finely shredded carrot
Preparation:
Grease and flour 12 muffin cups. Heat oven to 375°.
In a mixing bowl, beat the oil with eggs, sugars, and vanilla extract. Beat until pretty fluffy.
Combine the flour, soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; add to the wet ingredients; stirring until blended. It will be a pretty stiff dough. Fold in the shredded zucchini and carrots. The liquid in the veggies thins out the dough but it's still pretty thick.
Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or granulated sugar, if desired. Bake for 20 minutes.
Try subbing applesauce for the oil and part whole grain flour for all-purpose flour.
