Moist Sweet Veggie Muffins
Squash and zucchini is everywhere!! I've been taking full advantage by making recipes like this and this oh and this one too, to name a few.
Yummy! Can you see those specks of cinnamon... |
So I might as well add these sweet, moist vegetable muffins to the list. My toddler asked me to make these muffins for him last week. I don't know why I just light up when he asks me to make him things. I love cooking for my lil mook mook.
Anyway, I use to make these vegetable muffins for him in mini-form all the time when he was one. I couldn't believe he still remembered them. I guess seeing all the squash and zucchini piled up on the counter jogged his memory.
Summer is so colorful! This muffin recipe is great for using up all that extra produce from the garden and it freezes beautifully! |
These muffins are loaded with sweet carrots, zucchini, and squash with a sweet, cinnamon taste. If you like quick breads like banana bread, zucchini bread, apple bread and things like that, then you will love these muffins!
These veggie muffins make the house smell so good! |
If you're a veggie hater, don't worry about tasting any veggies in this recipe. My son says "it just tastes like cake" : )

3 cups cake flour

1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
