How to Make Deception Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup whole wheat flour, ¾ cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup milk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in 1 cup grated zucchini, ½ cup grated carrot, and ¼ cup finely chopped bell pepper.
Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
