Your kids will love that these muffins are sweet, moist, chewy, and bite-sized. You’ll love that they are packed with vegetables and whole grains instead of tons of sugar. Whether you want a portable, poppable breakfast or tasty health snacks, with the spring and summer veggies starting to show up in gardens and farmers markets, it’s time to make a few batches of Healthy Carrot Zucchini Mini Muffins.
Healthy Carrot Zucchini Mini Muffins

MMmmmm, these are right up my alley. Those look so scrumptious and you gotta love a muffin that’s healthy, too! I am trying to recall if I’ve ever combined carrot and zucchini in a muffin or loaf and I don’t think I have and I don’t know why because the flavours are perfect together. Thanks so much for sharing!

lovely glad to find these here. They really look tasty
Heather @ French Press
I bet I could even get my kids to eat these
Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life
Two of my favorite veggies to make bread with! These look delicious!
Kara
These look great!
Valerie
Do you think if I used the pulp from carrots after juicing for this recipe it would work? Or would it be to dry?
Ana
Yes, it works I do this all the time, I always make muffins or bread out of my apple/carrot juicing leftovers : )
Sarah
I just made these with my 3 year old. They are scrumptious! Thanks
Ashley
They sound great! My only concern is the amount of maple syrup/honey. 1/2 cup is quite a lot of sugar. Does anyone think it would work if I did 1/4 c of maple/honey and 1/4 c of water instead?
Kim
Made these yesterday with my 4 year old. They are GREAT-very moist!! We did add the whole 1/2 cup of maple syrup and they didn’t come out too sweet.
Carmen
I have regular whole wheat flour not white. Will that work also?
Amy
These look great, but I don’t have a mini-muffin pan. If I use my regular muffin pan, any ideas on how the temp/time might need to be adjusted?
Brandi
These were so good I think my toddler and I consumed them all in a 24 hour period:o needless to say I am at least doubling the recipe this time. I am going to incorporate some rolled oats and possibly some banana, aaple sauce or pumpkin (haven’t decided). Thank you!
sadie
to me these muffins don’t seem all that healthy because look at the ingredients i mean syrup really that’s packed full of sugar and these muffins might be mini but that doesn’t mean they are healthy
Brandi
You don’t have to use syrup. You can use honey. You could also add some banana or apple sauce replacing some of the butter and maybe add a little less honey. Anyway, made these AGAIN! I doubled the recipe and instead of 2 cups flour I used 1 1/4 c flour and 1 c rolled oats and I used 3T butter and 3T mashed avocado. I used a combo of 100% maple syrup and raw honey and used about 3/4c and they are delicious again! I also chopped up a few prunes and added them just bc I had them. I think I need to make these next week with pumpkin for our toddler Halloween party:)
