Disappearing Zucchini Muffins Recipe
I found this online, and tried it on my kids, even my son who has I think 8 foods he will eat loved them! One thing I would do differently is instead of grating the zuchinni, I would finely chop it or just puree it in with the applesauce.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c shredded zucchini (about 2 small)
- 2 c Whole-Grain pancake mix
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1 tsp. Allspice
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 c Brown Sugar
- 1/4 c Unsweetened Applesauce
- 2 tsp. Lemon Juice
- Powdered Sugar (just enough to dust muffin tops)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
- Wash zucchini and remove ends.
- Shred zucchini using largest holes on grater.
- Wrap grated zucchini in a couple of paper towels and squeeze to remove water.
- Measure 1½ cups of squeezed-dry zucchini.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix whole-grain pancake mix (or biscuit mix) with spices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, applesauce, and lemon juice.
- Fold the egg-sugar mixture and shredded zucchini into the pancake-spice mixture; do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full with batter.
