Carrot Zucchini Muffins

I've been doing a mostly Paleo diet.... I've tried to cut out artificial sweeteners, sugars, dairy, and processed stuff.... Oh and grain too. So here's a yummy little recipe. :)  You'll see I'm still using whey protein - like I said 'mostly' Paleo.

 

1/2 cup coconut flour

2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I use Body Fortress)

2 eggs, whisked.

1/2 cup grated carrots (Peeled)

1 large zucchini - grated (w/peel)

2tbsp agave nectar

dash stevia

1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

1.5-2tsp cinnamon

1tsp vanilla

1tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt substitute

1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk

1/4 cup no sugar added/unsweetened applesauce

 

Preheat oven to 350.

Line muffin tin w/cupcake papers.

In bowl, combine dry ingredients. Mix well.

In another bowl, combine wet ingredients.  Whisk together.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well.

Add Zucchini & Carrots to 'batter'.

Fill muffin cups 1/2-3/4 full.

Bake 25 minutes.

 

Makes 15 muffins.

**I'm totally thinking of making these for Thanksgiving or Christmas, and icing them with a skinny cream cheese frosting for a yummy dessert!**
