Whole Wheat Blueberry Zucchini Muffins

Blueberries and Zucchini. The two things that we can't get enough of this time of year. Or, maybe I am getting too much and trying to get creative in how I use them? Either way, this recipe is another example of me hiding veggies in my kids foods. They get their muffins, and I get the satisfaction of knowing there is another veggie actually being ingested and NOT spit out. Once again, I am using bananas in place of honey, maple syrup or other sweeteners. Don't worry, your kids won't know the difference.
These are versatile, and can be a great addition to breakfast OR lunch. Enjoy! ~ C




Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
2 bananas, broken into 1 to 2 inch pieces.
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
Add ins
1 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup fresh blueberries


  • Preheat over to 350 degrees. Grease your muffin tin or use liners. (I love these reusable silicone ones sold by Amazon.)
  • Mix all wet ingredients together in your mixer. Make sure the banana gets good and mashed up in the mixing process. 
  • While your wet ingredients are in the mixer, put all your dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and mix together with a fork or spoon.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the mixer. Mix until well blended. 
  • Add the "add ins" and mix by hand, or on the mixers lowest setting.
  • Pour into muffin pan and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Muffins are done when toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
