Zucchini Muffins with Raisins and Nuts-these healthy muffins are easy to make and popular with kids and adults! They freeze well too!
I love baking with my son, Blake. He loves to cook and is mad about using kitchen tools. He has been cutting the vegetables since he was 2. And although we had to start him with a butter knife, he has been graduating slowly up to the sharper ones. But his favorite kitchen tool?! The boss kitchen aid mixer of course!
He’s the cutest baker ever. Or maybe I am just biased. When I tell him we are making muffins and his face lights up, it makes my day! We recently made Zucchini Muffins and since these are customizable, he’s got his very own flavor going on. I must say that the addition of the raisins and the pecans made these even tastier.
And, as a mom,I was happy to find any excuse to get more vegetables in his diet. Om-Nom-Nom, these are so good and good for you.
Have a great day!

Preheat oven to 350. Grease muffin tins or use muffin liners. In a mixing bowl, blend oil, applesauce, and eggs together. Add vanilla, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together. One cup at a time, add dry mixture to wet and blend before adding next cup until all are just mixed.
