Honey and Olive Oil Zucchini Muffins

Nguyên liệu

• 3 cups grated zucchini (I used about 2 whole zucchini)
• 2 beaten eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup olive oil (light or mild tasting)
• 2/3 cup real maple syrup
• 1/3 cup raw honey, softened
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Cách làm

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggs, vanilla, olive oil, maple syrup, and honey. Stir gently until mixed; set aside.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to combine and make a well in the middle. Pour the wet mixture from step one into the well and stir just a few times until barely combined. Overmixing makes the muffins tough and hard, so I try to limit myself to 15 big around-the-bowl stirs.

3. 3

   Pour the batter in a muffin tin greased with nonstick cooking spray or lined with paper cups. You should be able to get 6-8 jumbo muffins or 15-16 regular sized muffins. Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and the tops spring back when you press on them.
