2 c Zucchini (shredded) 2 Eggs 1 ts Vanilla 3/4 c Oil 1/2 c Milk 1 c Sugar 1/2 c Semisweet chocolate pieces 3/4 c Wheat germ 2 c Flour 1/4 c Cocoa 3 ts Baking powder 3/4 ts Salt 1/2 ts Cinnamon 1/4 ts Cloves Contributed to the echo by: Janice Norman Originally from: "The Mayor's Cookbook" Wheat Germ Zucchini Cake Beat milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and oil together in one bowl. In another bowl, combine wheat germ, flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and spices. Stir wheat germ mixture into milk mixture. Fold in zucchini and chocolate pieces. Pour into greased and floured 9-cup or fluted pan. Bake at 350 60-70 minutes, or until done. Cool 15 minutes and invert onto a wire rack. (Mayor D. Rosenberg, Davis, California)
The fun shape of these rolls makes this recipe ideal to get your kids interested in baking. My boys love shaping these, tying them in knots, and baking them up to eat immediately from the oven. The oat and wheat germ give them a fantastic texture, while the all purpose flour keeps them light and fluffy.
Reduced Carb Morning Glory Breakfast Muffins
I used to be OBSESSED with #Starbucks #MorningGloryMuffins! A few years ago, I spent MONTHS trying to come up with the recipe and ultimately threw up my hands when I couldn't crack it, but the best part is, these are EVEN BETTER because they are low-sugar, reduced carb, high fiber and PACKED with both Fruits AND Veggies.
I think Mrs. O. from #wafflesandmochi would be proud. :)
REDUCED CARB MORNING GLORY BREAKFAST MUFFINS
Flour Mixture: 1/2 cup Almond Flour 1/2 cup Coconut Flour 1/2 cup Grated Coconut (unsweetened; also called flaked or dried) 2 Tbsp Oat Bran 2 Tbsp Wheat Germ (preferably toasted) 2 Tbsp Golden Flaxseed 1 Tbsp Tapioca Starch 1/2 tsp Speculaas Spice (optional; sometimes called Speculoos) 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup dark or light brown sugar 1/2 cup Golden Monkfruit alternative sweetener 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (should be pourable; not hot but not solid) 3 eggs, beaten together 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup finely shredded carrot 1/3 cup finely shredded zucchini, with the water pressed out of it 1/3 cup well-drained crushed pineapple (with most of the water pressed out of it) 1 cup finely diced apple chunks (pieces should be at least the size of small peas)
Optional: 1/4 cup assorted seeds (e.g., pumpkin, sunflower, hemp, millet, sesame, chia, flax) or nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, sliced almonds, chopped hazelnuts) for topping the muffins, all blended together.
Whisk together all the ingredients for the flour mixture and set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the coconut oil and sugar/sugar alternative until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, then vanilla, then the carrot, zucchini, and pineapple (yes, using the mixer).
Toss the chopped apples with the flour mixture, then add this to the remaining batter until well blended. Do not overmix - it should be all one color and evenly blended, but not beaten.
NOW heat your oven to 350 degrees (the batter benefits from sitting a bit until baking). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin (or 6-cup giant muffin or 24-cup mini muffin) tin with paper liners and fill muffin tins almost right to the top (they will rise a little but not too much). Bake for 18-23 minutes, possibly a little shorter for mini muffins or a little longer for big muffins, depending on your oven. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 3-4 minutes, then pop out onto a plate and serve. These are great even the next day!
