Equipment

1 muffin tin
1 Bowl

Ingredients

1.5 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c wheat germ
1.5 c zucchini shredded and pressed in paper towels
1 c milk
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c applesauce
1 egg
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Beat egg in a bowl, then add sugar, milk and applesauce.
Mix in wheat germ and salt. In a bowl mix together baking powder and wheat flour, then gradually add this into the mix and fold together until incorporated.
Shred zucchini on paper towels. Then roll them up and gently press down to absorb the water before adding into your batter.
Gently fold together, if adding crushed nuts add now too.
Use muffin liners and fill 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 17-21 minutes or until when touched in the center gently the muffin springs back. (check at 17 minutes, oven temps vary and you don't want to dry them out)
Remove from muffin pan and cool, enjoy.
