I love having these on hand for a quick bite that actually fills me up. They're packed with veggies, light on calories, and surprisingly flavorful. A batch lasts me a few days, making healthy eating super easy.

Ingredients

1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup finely diced bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
Salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried herbs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, combine all grated and diced vegetables, then whisk in the eggs.
Add the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and herbs to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Tips

Make sure to really squeeze out excess water from the zucchini to prevent soggy muffins.
These muffins freeze well; simply thaw and reheat for a quick snack anytime.
