- Prep time
- Total Time
- 1¼ cups whole grain flour (any preferred variety)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped
- ¾ cup ripe banana puree (about 2 bananas)
- ¾ cup grated zucchini (about ½ medium zucchini)
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350˚.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and walnuts.
In a separate bowl, mix banana and zucchini, egg, maple syrup, vanilla and applesauce.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and combine. Take care not to over-mix—stir no more than 15 to 20 times.
Fill each muffin tin about ¾ of the way. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
