Sneaky spicy muffins


These awesome muffins (most reminicent of pumpkin spice muffins) are made with whole wheat flour, carrots, sweet potatoes, cauliflower and zucchini!

2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3/4 cup sweet potato and carrot puree
1/4 cup zucchini/cauliflower puree
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt

optional: mini semi sweet chocolate chips (chocolate always entices my kids and me - lol!

In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar, oil, eggs and carrot/sweet potato puree. Combine flour, baking powder, soda, spices and salt. Add to puree mixture; blend until wet. Spoon into greased muffin tins, filling full. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  This made 12 large muffins!
