I added 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and they were nice and fluffy. Very good!
I made these exactly and cooked them longer than you said because they were still mushy in the middle. Should I squeeze out the liquid from the carrots and apple? They were delicious just still wet in the middle.
Oh no! Make sure not to overmix the batter. The most common reason for mushy muffins is overmixing.
Hi, same here. Still wet and mushy in the inside, didn’t over mix. So we probably should squeeze either zucchini or the Apple. I leave them in the oven for 15 more minutes but didn’t fix them, the flavour is great though
Absolutely delicious! Made exactly as written. A great way to use up that last banana that’s just gone brown and straggler zucchini 🙂
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for leaving a review. 🙂
Do you peel the skin off of the apple and zucchini.
I don’t but you can if you want.
All I have on hand is wheat flour. Would that work for this recipe?
