Zucchini Apple Muffins/Bread

A friend of my posted this recipe 2 years ago on Facebook and it quickly became a family favorite. By family, I most certainly mean Scott. The recipe is for bread, but I usually make it in muffin form. I also switched up the recipe a bit and made it with half whole wheat flour.

Here's what you need:

4 cups flour (if doing whole wheat, do 2 cups white flour, 2 cups whole wheat)
1 Tablespoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
5 eggs
2 cups of sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup applesauce
1/2 cup oil
1 Tablespoon vanilla
2 cups zucchini shredded
1 cup of Apple, peeled and diced

Here's what to do:

Combine first 6 ingredients set aside
Combine eggs, applesauce, oil, sugar, vanilla in large bowl beat well
Stir in Zucchini and apples to wet ingredients add dry ingredients and mix until combined
Bake 50-55 minutes if you are strictly making bread or 20-22 minutes for muffins

If you are doing muffins you'll make 24 and still have batter left over. I made two mini loaves this last time. Scott pretty much died when he came home and saw these. They are super yummy, I hope you enjoy them as well!

Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

I love blueberry muffins, like seriously love them. I think this is my third blueberry muffin recipe I've put on here, so that should tell you something. I made this is mini form, which is pretty deadly because then you find yourself eating like 4 at a time, or so I've heard....

What you need:

1 1/3 cup of flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

What to do:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and prep your muffin pans

In a medium bowl combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture and set aside.

In another bowl combine egg, milk and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture.

Stir until just moistened

Fold in blueberries

Spoon batter into muffin pan

Bake for 18-20 minutes

Like I said these are crazy delicious. I made 24 mini muffins and I think there are like 4 left from yesterday. I may or may not have eaten 16 of the 20 that have been eaten. I can neither confirm nor deny at this time....

Maple Pumpkin Muffins

I got this super yummy recipe from my friend Heather a few weeks back and finally remembered to get the canned pumpkin at the store the other day. These muffins are crazy delicious and practically scream Fall. This time I made them with walnuts, but I think when I make them again I'll try pecans (pah-chans y'all not pea-cans).

Here's what you need:

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup plus 2 TBSP packed brown sugar,divided
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 TBSP maple syrup,divided
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese,softened (I discovered they actually sell this size, which makes it a lot easier than dividing up a 8 oz package)

Topping:

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 tsp brown sugar

What to do:

In large bowl, combine the flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon,baking soda,pumpkin pie spice and salt.
Whisk eggs,pumpkin, milk,oil, and 1 TBSP syrup
Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Fold in pecans/walnuts
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining brown sugar and syrup until smooth.
Gently stir into batter until mixture appears swirled.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups about 3/4 full.
Combine topping ingredients;sprinkle over batter.
Bake @ 400 for 20-25 mins or until toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 5 mins before removing from pan to a wire rack.
approx 1 doz [I actually got 1 and 1/2 doz.]

Thanks again to Heather for this really yummy recipe! Hope you enjoy!
