Apple Zucchini Muffins Recipe

10/09/2020 by Valya of The Farm Girl Blog Leave a Comment

This Apple Zucchini Muffins Recipe is a must-make Fall treat! They are tender, fluffy, airy, and loaded with homegrown zucchini and chunks of homegrown apples. I love this recipe because it has no added oil moistener in it, but are only moistened by apple sauce. This adds a rich and delicious taste as well as making them super moist. Homegrown produce gives these muffins irresistible natural flavors you simply don’t want to stop eating them.

These muffins are also freezer friendly. I usually whip up a double batch in order to freeze them. This is also a good way to use up those abundantly growing zucchini in your garden and apples in the backyard apple orchard. Then kids can pull them out for breakfast, work, or school lunch.

This is another way to get a little fruit and vegetables into your family’s diet, especially if you have some picky eaters who do not want to eat zucchini any other way. Just don’t tell them there are loads of zucchini in there! Then, later on, the kid will say, “Oh, I love zucchini now!” 😉 Enjoy, friends!

Apple Zucchini Muffins Recipe Instructions

Start by preheating the oven to 325 F (163 C) on a conventional setting (or otherwise, preheat to 350 F (180 C). Measure out the dry ingredients and combine them together with a wire whisk. Set aside until ready for use.

Next, rinse, peel, and grate apples using a carrot greater. With a chopping knife, chop the grated apple slivers into even smaller pieces. Then rinse, peel and chop apples into the 1/4-inch cube. Set aside until ready for use.

Beat eggs and sugar in a medium bowl for a few minutes or until fluffy and pale in color. Then add vanilla, apple sauce, grated zucchini. Stir in the flour using a spatula (or a hand mixer) in 3 separate additions until just incorporated. Finally, fold in the chopped apples.

Divide the batter evenly between 12 regular muffin liners. Sprinkle some rolled oats over the top. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the baked muffins from oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before taking them out. Remove them from muffins liners and let them cool completely before serving the kids, as the apple chunks in the muffins may be still hot even though the muffin is cool to touch.

Cleaning

The electric kettle is a very common and handy little kitchen appliance, because of its convenience and quicker boiling than a stove top kettle. With colder temperatures approaching it gets used even more at my house. And that means even more cleaning is necessary.
