Zucchini Muffins
3 cups shredded zucchini (about 3 whole zucchini)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup olive oil
⅔ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup honey
1½ cups whole wheat flour
1½ cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Beat eggs in small bowl
3. In a medium-sized bowl combine zucchini, eggs, vanilla, olive oil, maple syrup, and honey. Stir gently until mixed, set aside.
4. In a large bowl combine whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon
5. Stir dry ingredients until combined. Make a well in the middle.
6. Pour the wet mixture from #3 into the well and stir just until combined. Do not over-stir because over-mixing can make muffins hard.
7. Spoon the batter into a muffin tin (either greased or lined with paper cups).
8. Bake for 20 minutes (10 minutes if making mini-muffins).
9. Stick a toothpick into the center of one of the muffins after 10 minutes, and again after 15 minutes.
Take muffins out of oven when toothpick comes out clean.
