Healthy Carrot Zucchini Muffins

carrot zucchini muffins

It’s harvest season! I love this time of year. Gardens are producing so much produce, farmers are harvesting their crops, school starts up again and the weather starts to cool down.

My little 3 yr old boy will be starting preschool school next Monday. It’s unreal to me that he is 3 years old already. Most of you may know that he was diagnosed with Autism in July 2013. He will be attending a Children’s Resource Center for preschool. They will be able to help him with his speech and provide the services he needs. I am beyond excited to see his progress. But really how did he get so big already?!!!


We were not able to grow a garden this year, but we plan to next year. My mother in-law has been so kind to share hers with us. We have really enjoyed it! There are loads of zucchini this time of year, so I have been cooking it all sorts of ways. Yesterday I made these healthy muffins with zucchini and carrots.

My husband leaves extra early in the morning, so I like to have something he can just grab and eat on the way for breakfast. These are a great eat on the run kind of breakfast. Enjoy!

1/2 c. rolled oats

1 c. all-purpose flour

1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 T baking powder

1 1/2 t cinnamon

1 t salt

3 eggs & 1 egg white
