Carrot Zucchini Muffins are the perfect way to use up that zucchini you’ve been wondering what to do with! These healthy muffins are a great way to sneak in veggies into your snack and appeal to even picky eaters!
I love getting in as many veggies into my meals as I can. I especially love it when those veggies are shredded and hiding inside like a big surprise. It’s a great way to get more servings of veggies into my diet.
I absolutely love veggies of all kinds but crunching on raw veggies isn’t exactly my idea of a great snack. These muffins, however, totally are! Totally snack-worthy.
These muffins are fluffy, made with wholesome ingredients, and packing in a good serving of veggies too. What’s not to love about that?
While my veggie loving heart loves them so much, even picky eaters love them. So if you’ve got any in your home, this is one way to get them to enjoy them. They are totally visible, so don’t think you can sneak them in undetected. You can see flecks of carrot and zucchini in these muffins for sure. But when they are in muffin form, they are so tasty it becomes a non-issue – at least with the picky eaters I know.
I haven’t even told you the best part of this recipe- they whip up in one bowl and are ready in under 30 minutes! Okay that’s two things. But seriously, you gotta love a quick recipe with minimal mess to clean up!
This recipe also works well for those with dietary restrictions related to dairy. Coconut oil is used instead of butter and there is no milk in the recipe. It is also free of refined sugar so if you are trying to cut back on it, this recipe is for you.
