This simple Carrot Zucchini Muffins Recipe is just perfect for those of you who want a healthy breakfast that tastes absolutely delicious!
Who knew carrots and zucchini would go hand in hand and make a perfect breakfast muffin? Honestly, I would have never thought it would have!
This recipe was actually shared with me by my daughter, which had been passed down to her as well. I absolutely love all recipes made with coconut oil.
Coconut oil is very beneficial to our health, I mean it covers almost every part of the body.

Have you ever gotten an oil change for your car and decided to go with the most expensive oil?
The last oil change I had done I went with top of the line oil instead of the oil I had been using all along. My car's performance was so much smoother and I could really feel the difference in the car, it just ran a lot better!
Well, good news is Coconut oil is the same, but for our bodies! Coconut oil Contains Fatty Acids With Potent Medicinal Properties, increase fat burning, can kill harmful microorganisms, reduces hunger and seizures, it is good for the skin and hair...the benefits are endless!

Why you will love this Carrot Zucchini Muffins Recipe
Along with carrots and zucchini this Carrot Zucchini recipe also calls for brown sugar which is much healthier than white sugar, and sea salt is healthier than regular table salt.
The dash of vanilla is optional, but I decided to go ahead and add the vanilla to give it that extra flavor. Cost wise, this recipe is very inexpensive. I spent about $8 making these muffins and since they are so filling and packed full of all that goodness I mentioned above, all I could really eat was 2 muffins in one sitting.
These are perfect to take to work to share with your co workers, to sell at bake sales, for breakfast and even for mid day snacks or after dinner dessert. I prepared these Sunday evening so I would have breakfast for each day of the week. I saved a ton of time and money with this delicious recipe as well.
I hope you enjoy this Carrot Zucchini Muffin recipe and share with your friends, family, co workers and even your neighbors (if you have nice neighbors like mine).
Maybe even make someone's day by paying it forward if they have done a good deed for you recently, or if they are going through a rough patch as life sometimes gives you.

Carrot Zucchini Muffins Recipe Directions
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly in a smaller dish. In a separate larger bowl (I used our electric mixer) combine the carrots and zucchini along with the soft or liquid coconut oil, brown sugar and vanilla.
Once that is evenly mixed you can start to slowly add in the dry ingredients. Add a little at a time until all is just combined, do not over mix.
I greased a large mini muffin try and added a bit of batter to each well.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 9 to 12 minutes or until spongy on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes before enjoying and let cool completely to room temp before storing in a sealed container.

Do you have a printer-friendly version to print recipes. I find it easier to read from a piece of paper.
