Veggie Muffins

October 12, 2011 By Dusty Rogers 19 Comments

Kid-Approved Veggie Muffins - orange juice and apple juice give this recipe a sweet, kid-pleasing flavor without using too much sugar! | www.allthingsgd.com

I grew my first zucchini plant in our backyard this summer (love growing my own food!) and these muffins are my favorite way to use them up. The applesauce and orange juice in this recipe gives it an added sweetness and flavor that prevents Kate from turning her nose up at the fact that it’s veggie-packed, and keeps it from needing too much sugar.  Winning!

Ingredients
1 egg
3/4 c. orange juice
1/2 c. applesauce
1/4 c. sugar
1 c. white flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1 c. shredded carrot
1 c. shredded zucchini
1/2 c. raisins

Directions
1.  Beat egg in a large bowl.
2.  Add orange juice, applesauce, and sugar.  Beat well.
3.  Sift together dry ingredients.

4.  Stir dry ingredients into egg mixture.  Mix until moist.
5.  Gently fold in shredded carrots, shredded zucchini, and raisins.

6.  Spoon into well greased muffin pan, about 2/3 full.

7. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

This recipe makes 12 freezer-friendly muffins. Enjoy!

    Those sound good. Healthy. I wonder if they would stay healthy if you added chocolate chips? Mm.

    I made these today for my husband’s mid-morning snacks while at work. Of course I had to sample one. Delicious. Nice and moist and yummmy. Next time I may put a little more cinnamon in for our tastes but otherwise they are fabulous!
    Beautiful photography by the way!

    Like all the recipes you post- this is a winner. I think these are now my new favorites, just beating out the protein pancakes. You should think about creating a G&D cookbook…seriously;) Thanks for sharing such easy, healthy and delicious food.

    Okay, my muffins are in the oven! How did you make the zuchini look so pretty shredded? I tried to use a veggie peeler – disaster. So, I had to finely chop it. Thanks for the recipe! CC in VA

    Can you suggest a good substitute for zucchini? My 2 year old daughter hates zucchini..
    I love you dusty , And I love Kate more.. Following you through the past years I feel like a part of your little happy family.

    @CC: So happy to hear they were a hit!

    @Emily: Such a sweet comment, thank you. I would suggest simply omitting the zucchini – or if you’d like, you could increase the carrot a little bit. Hope that helps!

    we love these! I’ve made them five times! last time we added chopped apricots and a little ginger powder. I bet they’d be good with walnuts too!
