3/4 c. whole wheat flour

1/4 c. sugar

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 egg slightly beaten

1/2 c. vanilla yogurt

1 Tbsp. honey

1/4 c. vegetable oil

1 c. zucchini, grated

1/2 c. dates coarsely chopped

1 tsp. orange zest, grated

vanilla

dash of salt


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease 12 cup muffin tin. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, yogurt, honey, and oil. Add zucchini, dates and orange zest and mix thoroughly. Add to the dry mixture, stirring till just moistened. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until muffins are slightly browned. Remove from tin and cool on wire rack. Makes 12 muffins.


*I got this one off the back of the Stonyfield yogurt container. They have zucchini, dates, yogurt and honey (we also add pecans), plus they are low in fat and sugar. My kiddos love them.
