Apple Cinnamon Zucchini Muffins

I am always looking for a new breakfast muffin recipe and this was perfect! This was easy, delicious and not only has apples, but has grated zucchini that you can’t even taste.  So this is a perfect recipe to sneak in some veggies to the kiddos before school! I can’t believe it’s that time of year again…back to school, where did summer go?!

This recipe makes 12 regular size muffins.

INGREDIENTS 
3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup peeled and shredded apple (I used Granny Smith)
Turbinado sugar to sprinkle on top

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line or spray muffin pan with liners or non-stick baking spray, set aside.
In a medium bowl add the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla extract, whisk until smooth.  Add in flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder and stir until combined. Fold in the shredded zucchini and apple (along with any juice from shredding).  Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 of the way full filling 12 cups. Sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
Bake for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temp.

Enjoy!
