Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Standing in my kitchen starring at a basket of squash, I knew I had to come up with a new recipe or two because we were already tired of the same old ones. The goal here was a muffin that was not only delicious, but somewhat healthy. Fruit, nuts, zucchini, and a bit of whole wheat flour added a nutritional boost to an otherwise ordinary muffin. On top of that, they are delicious! These muffins are both tender and moist with just enough sweetness from the honey. Right now our garden is producing zucchini, yellow squash and patty pan squash faster than I can pick them! And do you see that beet? Yes, we have lots of beets too. I truly wish I could share all this bounty with you!

Let’s get busy baking some wonderful muffins. Here’s what we’ll need.

Honey Whole Wheat Zucchini Muffins

I love the taste of honey in baked goods and it is especially yummy in these muffins. The zucchini flavor disappears when baked but the moisture from the squash makes these muffins both tender and moist. The raisins provide a bit of chewiness and the nuts a bit of crunch. My recipe makes 12 nice sized muffins. Grease 12 muffin cups. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
