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:
