Zucchini Yogurt Multigrain Muffins
"I tried finding a recipe to get my picky toddler to eat her vegetables. Since I couldn't find a healthy one, I came up with this. Using one cup carrots and one cup zucchini is a nice way to get both the yellow and green veggies into the diet! Any type of nuts, raisins, etc. may be used in the recipe -- whatever is on hand and toddler approved."

These turned out great! I made LOTS of changes, though!! I used a combo of oat flour, whole wheat flour & wheat bran. Used less Splenda, applesauce (didn't use oil) & yogurt (used vanilla). I didn't even bother with the honey. Instead of zucchini, I had ripe banana to use up, which is why I used less yogurt & applesauce since bananas added moisture. I added some unsweetened coconut, too. They rose nicely & baked well, too. Very moist, too! Will try the zucchini next time.
