I am always on the lookout for healthy treats that I can make for the kids and these Apple Zucchini Muffins tick all the boxes. They are easy to make. They taste delicious and they are full of healthy goodness. These muffins freeze really well, so I I often make a double batch and stick some in the freezer for days when I don’t have time to bake. I am also a fan of putting veggies in my kids treats and they don’t even know they’re eating zucchini!
To make these muffins, I mix flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and all-spice together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, I mix the wet ingredients together. Then I combine the dry and the wet ingredients together. I stir in the zucchini, grated apple and chopped apples – I use Granny Smith apples but you can use whichever apples you prefer. Before I bake these muffins, I sprinkle a mixture of turbinado sugar and cinnamon on top which caramelizes as they cook.
To make Apple Zucchini Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tray with paper muffin cups or low cal cooking spray.
Mix the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and all-spice together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, applesauce, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry mixture and stir until they are just combined.
Carefully stir in the zucchini, grated apple and chopped apples.
Mix the turbinado sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tray. Fill each cup about ¾ full. Sprinkle the sugar topping on top of each muffin.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack.
These muffins make a really healthy snack when served with a glass of milk.

Man, these Apple Zucchini Muffins are a game changer! My kids gobbled 'em up without a clue they had veggies. Perfect for busy days – I freeze a bunch, makes life easy! Highly recommend!
Fabulous. These muffins have become a family favourite. I made them for my kids after school and they finished the whole batch in one sitting. Hiding veggies in treats is my secret trick. Can't wait to do a double batch for the freezer.
