No amount of summer heat can dampen my baking enthusiasm, which is exactly why I need healthy recipes like these Zucchini Carrot Muffins! Made with wholesome oatmeal, Greek yogurt, and no sugar (the muffins are naturally sweetened with honey instead), these fluffy muffins scratch my baking, breakfast, and snacking itch, all three of which are in full force at this moment…and let’s be honest—every moment.

Last week, as I was sneaking my fifth bite of Zucchini Brownies before 10 am (which would have felt slightly more excusable had I not enjoyed a duo of leftover Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler and Cherry Blackberry Crisp the night before), it occurred to me that shifting my baking energy into a healthy breakfast muffin might be a wise choice for the time being.

These scrumptious zucchini carrot oatmeal muffins turned out to be one of my very favorite zucchini recipes to date. Considering the plethora of healthy zucchini recipes on this site, that’s a mighty statement, and one I stand behind.

Lightly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, loaded with a whopping 1 ½ cups of veg (I used a 50/50 blend of carrots and zucchini, though you can adjust the ratio as you like), and just the right amount of sweet, these muffins score full marks in every core muffin category.
