Apple and Zucchini Muffins

These muffins are not only delicious but they are healthy too! Muffins are a great way to sneak in a few extra vegies. Make a batch for lunchboxes and freeze, or bake them fresh and take on a picnic over the school holidays! Don’t tell anyone there’s zucchini in there!

Ingredients

2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup apple, peeled and grated (or chopped into small pieces)
1 cup zucchini, peeled and grated

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a bowl, combine the sifted flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.
