How to Make Golden Fruit And Vegetable Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Generously grease 12 (2 1/2-inch) muffin cups or line with paper baking cups.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Stir in 1 cup grated crookneck squash, 1/2 cup grated carrot, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, and 1/2 cup raisins.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
  6. Whisk in 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  8. Add the egg mixture to the well and gently stir into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  11. Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
