Superhero Muffins

These come from Suzan Stegemoeller. If you make 10 muffins, each has 358 calories (if I'm using chocolate chips).

Ingredients

 2 cups flour (recipe calls for almond meal; I used half wheat, half white)
1 cup old-fashioned oats
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins, chopped dates, or chocolate chips
3 eggs
1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup grated carrots
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350. Line muffin cups or spray them with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt and walnuts/raisins/chocolate chips.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, zucchini, carrots, butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  4. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned on top, 25-35 minutes.
