The ultimate start-your-day muffin, packed with shredded apple, zucchini, and carrot for natural sweetness and a wonderfully moist texture. Warmly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, sweetened with honey, and gluten-free adaptable — these muffins are as nourishing as they are delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 medium apple, shredded
• 1 medium zucchini, shredded
• 2 medium carrots, shredded
• 1 cup honey
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk of choice (or buttermilk)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• ½ cup cane sugar (optional)
• 3 cups all-purpose flour (or 3 ½ cups gluten-free flour)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare muffin tins (12 jumbo or 24 regular).
2. In a bowl, add the melted butter, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cane sugar (if using). Whisk well to combine.
3. Wring out excess liquid from the shredded apple, zucchini, and carrots using a tea towel or paper towels.
4. Add the shredded produce to the bowl and whisk well.
5. Add the flour and baking powder. Whisk until just combined.
6. Scoop the batter into muffin tins, filling each about ¾ full.
7. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
8. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
9. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy.

Notes

Tip: If using a gluten-free flour blend, allow the batter to sit for a few minutes to thicken before deciding if more water is needed.
