Whole Wheat Molasses Zucchini Muffins

 

These Whole Wheat Molasses Zucchini Muffins have the greatest texture, thanks to the oil (instead of butter) and they’re moist and beautifully spiced. The molasses-honey pairing is brilliant. Great for texture and flavour balance.

    Bridget…thank you for the zucchini muffin recipe. I have been making zucchini bread and zucchini chocolate cake as I have been the lucky recipient of two huge zucchini. I have been looking for a muffin recipe, and would you believe there is not one to be found in all my cookbooks. Silly me, I should have gone right to the computer to check out Crosby’s recipes. I just know this muffin recipe is going to be as delicious as so many of the recipes I have been lucky to find on your site.

    Can you add berries/ raisins/seeds to these muffins or any muffin recipe. Does it alter the consistency of the batter. Thanks

    Bridget, Love the zucchini muffins but is it possible to post the calorie count including the amount of sugar? Thanks so much. I need to reduce my intake of sugars of any sort so knowing how much would help. Thanks so much for your great recipes, I have tried a number of them and have downloaded your e-books.

      Nancy, I am glad you liked the Zucchini muffins and other recipes. Here is an estimate on the calories per muffin – 296 and the total carbs per muffin – 37. This is with the yeild of 16 muffins per recipe. I hope this helps with reducing your sugars.

    I would like to say that I like molasses as a child and still use it.
