I used half the sugar and it’s still plenty sweet. I’ll use even less next time.
Apple and Zucchini!
Hi all, I followed everybody’s recommendations cut the oil back to 3/4 of a cup, cut the sugar back to a little under a cup and add a little extra zucchini. I also used half roasted walnut oil instead of just straight canola oil and I have to say it really added a nice touch.
Do read the comments submitted first. I did not and am disappointed. I doubled the recipe as is. Too sweet, too oily, and I ended up with enough batter for 24 muffins, and 1 loaf.
Good results with these modifications: 1 c. sugar with orange zest rubbed in; 200 ml oil; 2 eggs. 90 g each of whole wheat flour and APF, added 1/4 t. allspice and nutmeg. Folded in 1/2 c. rolled oats with the chopped walnuts. Wring out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini and apples. This made 12 what I would consider normal size muffins. 28 minutes at 350 in a convection oven.
