Apple and Zucchini!
I used half the sugar and it’s still plenty sweet. I’ll use even less next time.
Ok. Just made these. 1. They're quite oily 2. Waaaaay too sweet.... follow advice below and do 1 cup sugar. I made 2 batches (thought I had screwed up) and the 1 cup is still a bit too sweet 3. It's a cupcake not a muffin 4. The taste is fine but pretty basic. Most of my complaints are on the texture. Notes to actually make this good: - I think I'll do more apple, less zucchini - up the flour - sub oat flour by weight to add muffin-y-ness to it - reduce the sugar even further. 3/4 cup suga

This recipe makes double what it says of what I assumed was the regular muffin, as opposed to the mini. Maybe 12 if you make cafe size muffins. I took half of the batch to work (because there was no way we were eating all of these at home), and people were raving. These are southern women who bake regularly. Do not hesitate to make these! As a note, I have a kid who doesn’t like nuts so I waited until the end and topped them with the nuts instead of mixing in. Nice crust on top as a result.
