Instructions
Creating these Zucchini Carrot Oatmeal Muffins is a breeze. Just follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
2. Prepare Vegetables: Grate the zucchini and carrots, squeezing out any excess moisture. Set aside.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, vegetable oil, and eggs until well blended.
5. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not over-mix.
6. Incorporate Vegetables: Fold in the grated zucchini and carrots gently until evenly distributed.
7. Optional Add-Ins: If you choose to add nuts or raisins, fold them into the batter.
8. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
