    The kids LOVED them. I don't bother peeling the zucchini or apple - more fibre and you don't taste it. On kids request I put chunks of apple into the second batch. So good!

    Submitted by Mrs Brooksy on 14. February 2015 - 14:26.

    Make these all the time for my fussy milk protein allergic 3 year old little man. Unbeknownst to him I pack all sorts of fruit and veg into them (depending on what's in the fridge). Also love the fact that they are dairy free. I've even been known to leave the sugar out all together and add a little honey and everyone's still happy to eat them.

    Submitted by Karyn Fowler on 11. January 2015 - 19:29.

    Light and fluffy. I replaced 1 apple with a pear, and after reading prior comments used coconut oil and xylitol instead of veg oil and brown sugar. Mind didnt brown as much as the picture but they taste great.

    Thank you very much my son loves them tmrc_emoticons.) my son is on a special diet and is fussy. I swapped the oil for butter, I put half xylitol sugar and half coconut sugar. We had no zucchini so I put a carrot in and a banana. I also added 2 Tbs linseed meal and 2 of psyllium husk. Thanks again I have only had my thermo for a week but this will be a regular recipe in our house xo.

    Submitted by dalaeh on 17. December 2014 - 20:03.

    Great muffin recipe. I used Fuji apples and 50g of coconut oil instead of vegetable and rapadura instead of brown sugar. True test will be when they get packed in the kids lunchboxes tomorrow morning, but my husband and I both enjoyed them tonight with a cup of tea tmrc_emoticons.)

  • I substituted the vegetable

    Submitted by tanyabird11 on 24. October 2014 - 11:54.

    I substituted the vegetable oil for coconut oil and the brown sugar for coconut sugar. Flavour was nice however they were a bit too moist so will reduce oil amount next time. Kids gobbled them up no probs!

  • I would love to call these

    Submitted by thermiepaula on 20. October 2014 - 23:06.

    I would love to call these muffins healthy, cause they look great and muffins are always a great lunchbox item, except using vegetable oil makes them rather toxic. This oil is highly processed, refined and should never be consumed. How about Coconut oil or Plain 'ol Butter instead? I also wouldn't use brown sugar, rather a real not refined "brown" sugar like Rapadura sugar or just no sugar at all, add a Banana instead. The 2 Apples probably even gives it enough sweetness anyway.

    Submitted by Shells TM on 6. June 2014 - 14:33.

    These are great to freeze then pop in lunch boxes through the week! I substitute oil with 75g olive oil & 25g apple juice. Also sometimes use half can sliced apples instead of fresh if I don't have any fresh apples.  My boys don't even know they're eating zucchini tmrc_emoticons.)
