Yogurt, Apple & Summer Squash Muffins


Yogurt, Apple & Summer Squash Muffins

Ingredients:
1 egg
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup sugar

¾ cup Vanilla yogurt (you can use any complementary flavor or plain too)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup all purpose flour

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups combined summer squash & apple shredded (I used a small yellow straight neck squash and a large Macintosh apple – you can use whatever variety of summer squash and apple you like)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 and prepare the muffin tins.
In a big bowl beat egg, sugar, oil, and yogurt. Fold in the summer squash and apple. Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon then the flours.
Fill muffin cups about 2/3 of the way. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

ENJOY!

    1. I hope that they came out good! We made them again recently and they came out a little too moist - I think it was because we used some very juicy apples. Next time I'll trust my gut and adjust the flour by a tablespoon or two.
