Servings: 24 mini muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup grated zucchini packed
- 1/2 cup apple, peeled and chopped (I like to use Fuji apples)
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup refined coconut oil plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Then, grease a mini muffin tin using a pastry brush and some refined coconut oil.
- Grate the zucchini and set it aside. Then, peel and finely dice the apple. Set it aside.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl, combine the egg, coconut oil and apple sauce. Then, stir in the zucchini and apple.
- Next, add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Don’t over-mix. Then, fold in the oats.
- Evenly spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin. It should make about 24-28 mini muffins.
- Bake the muffins between 15-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then remove them and place them on a cooling rack, until they are completely cooled. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't want to grease the mini muffin tin, you can use a cooking spray or mini muffin liners. If you decide to use the muffin liners, be sure to peel them off before giving the muffins to you baby or toddler.
- These muffins can be frozen for later use. Please scroll up on this post for tips on freezing them.
