I'm dieting so I decided to make these. For six of the muffins, I added some chocolate chips--about 1/2 cup but if I do it again, I will cut it to 1/4 cup. I added chocolate for DS because I wasn't sure I'd get him to eat a muffin with visible shreds of green zucchini and orange carrots without an extra...carrot so to speak. This was very good and tasty. A good way to sneak some veggies into the reluctant veggie eaters life.

Healthy indeed! I healthied these even more with a few changes. I used 1 tsp of Stevia powder in place of the sugar, and used unsweetened natural applesauce. Instead of white flour, I used "white whole wheat" flour, and I substituted 2 egg whites per one whole egg. I doubled this recipe and made 12 muffins and 3 small loaves of bread. These were a big hit at my yoga class, thanks!
