I landed up with a whole lot of leftover grated zucchini after I baked my double chocolate zucchini bundt cake. I used some of it, sprinkling it over salad for two days but it still wasn’t finished. The awful miscalculation eventually paid off because the final cup was used up to make these delicious whole grain muffins.
The recipe calls for a combination of whole wheat flour and almond flour which lends a wonderful texture to the finished product. The zucchini is beautifully paired with pumpkin and maple. Baking these early morning was an absolute treat as the whole house warmed up to the wafts of maple.
This sorta healthy delight made for the perfect breakfast this morning.
