Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even as a side dish, these muffins are not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. Follow this easy recipe to create moist and flavorful muffins that will become a favorite in your household.
- Make sure to grate the carrot and zucchini finely to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- If you don’t have self-raising flour, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- To add a bit of variety, you can mix in some nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
- Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter; mix until just combined to avoid dense muffins.
- You can use paper liners in your muffin tin for easier cleanup and to keep the muffins from sticking.
