Zucchini Yogurt Multigrain Muffins

I don't usually share recipes because...well, I don't bake all that often. And you might think, "elwww...zucchini" but you can't really taste a whole lot of zucchini in in and it's a healthy way to get a serving of vegatable...or to sneak it to your kidlets. Especiall with Tyler starting on table food now, I'm racking my brain for ways to sneak in healthy food (especially veggies) for him to eat.

Here's a yummy muffin recipe that's easily customizable to whatever you may have on hand. Feel free to tweak and play to suit your tastes and preferences....I did. And another tip: Double the recipe and freeze half - it freezes really well. And i have a thing for freezing stuff. But that's a blog for another day.

Zucchini Yogurt Multigrain Muffins

1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup oat flour (I used oatmeal, ground up in the food processor to make it more fine)

1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 eggs
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or smooshed bananas will work too)
1 cup plain yogurt (I used vanilla yogurt...sour cream would work too)
1 cup sugar (I used half a cup)
1/4 cup honey (I omitted this since babies aren't supposed to have honey)
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup shredded zucchini (make sure you squeeze all the liquid out of it)
1 cup shredded carrots ( once again, squeeze out all the juice)
1/2 cup raisins (soak 'em in hot water before you put them in, to soften them up)
I also threw in a couple tablespoons of wheat germ

1. Oven - 375 degrees
2. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl
3. Mis all the wet ingredients (except for the zucchini, carrots, and raisins) in another bowl
4. Combine wet and dry and then fold in the zucchini, carrots, and raisin.
5. Bake for 18-20 min.

Like I said this is easy to play with (I made quite a few revisions)...if you don't like carrot, skip it and increase the zucchini. Or add more veggies. Or skip the white flour and use all wheat flour, or use whole wheat pastry flour in place of white flour. Or add bananas. Or chocolate chips, or nuts, or whatever. They rise beautifully and are really moist. Try it!
