RECIPE: Veggie Muffins

These are so good you won't even realize they are also really good for you. These are not super sweet - you can increase the sugar to 3/4 cup if you want them a bit sweeter.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. golden flax meal
2 T. wheat germ
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 T. cinnamon
1 t. ginger
1/2 t. allspice
1/2 c. raisins
1 medium zucchini, grated
8 oz. carrot puree (you can use carrot baby food for this if you don't want to make puree)
1/2 c. milk
2 eggs, beaten
2 T. oil
1 T. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350.Mix all the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and stir until well incorporated, without over mixing. Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 of the way and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. This recipe will make a dozen medium muffins, or 24 mini muffins.
