“Veggies-Are-Treats-Too” Muffins

Thanks to my neighbor Carrie for this terrific recipe (and slogan)!

1/4 c. canola oil

1/2 c. brown sugar

1 egg

3/4 c. applesauce

1 c. carrots, grated

1 c. zucchini, grated

1 c. whole wheat pastry flour

3/4 c. unbleached all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. salt

Whisk together oil and sugar. Beat in egg, then applesauce. Gently stir in carrots and zucchini.

In another bowl, whisk together flours, BP, and spices.

Fold dry ingredients into the wet, just until well mixed. Spoon batter to the top of paper lined muffin cups. Bake at 400 for 18-20 min. or until toothpick comes out clean. Makes 12 muffins.
