Zucchini, Carrot & Orange Cupcakes

Yes, these cupcakes have vegetables. But your little ones won't even notice them. They're very fragrant too, what with the orange zest and juice.




ZUCCHINI, CARROT & ORANGE CUPCAKES

1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup shredded zucchini; drain and squeeze with paper towel to remove excess moisture
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup wholewheat flour
Zest and juice of 1 orange
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons flaxseed
Granola, for topping, about 1/2 cup

Procedure:

1. In a mixing bowl, mix together the butter and honey.


 2. Alternately add the milk, eggs, flours, baking soda and salt. Mix well.  Add the zucchini, carrot and flaxseed to the mix.



3. Once it is mixed well, add the orange juice and zest.


4. Pour the mix into cupcake holders.  Top with granola. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, at 350F.
