Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup zucchini grated, patted dry
  • 1 cup apple cored, peeled, diced
  • 1/3-1/2 cup sugar if adding topping use 1/3
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Melt butter, peel and dice apples and shred zucchini over paper towels (then fold over and gently press down to remove most of moisture).
  • Whisk together eggs, sugar, milk. Then add melted butter. In another bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Slowly incorporate flour mixture into egg mix. Fold in zucchini and apples now. If you wanted to add some finely chopped nuts inside you could do that now too.
  • Spoon into muffin pan that have muffin liners or have been sprayed with non stick spray. Fill 3/4 of the way full.
  • If adding topping mix those ingredients in a bowl and sprinkle on top.
  • Bake for approx. 17-20 minutes or until top springs back when gently touched in the middle, or a toothpick comes out mostly clean with crumbs on it.
