My Go-To (Healthy!) Breakfast Muffin

Lately I have had zero time to make breakfast in the morning. Nearly every day I work at 10:00 with a 25 minute commute, so I rush out the door at 9:30 and make it right on time to open. It's so important to get a nutritious breakfast every day, but I find it difficult to find the time to do so! I did a little brainstorming (aka perusing on Pinterest, follow me here!) and found the most delicious recipe for zucchini muffins that make a great breakfast and that you can prepare ahead of time for the entire week.

Here's the original recipe I used.

These muffins are sweet, moist and bite size so they make the perfect little breakfast on the go! They're also full of veggies and whole grains but not a lot of added sugar, making them actually super healthy for you. I'll make them on a Sunday night so I can grab one or two for each morning of the upcoming week.

Ingredients: 

1 cup white whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)

1 large egg, beaten 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup finely grated zucchini

1/2 cup finely grated carrot

1/2 cup raisins 

They do take a little bit of work to prepare because you have to grate all of the zucchini and carrot, but trust me when I say they are well worth the work! After they come out of the oven, I like to sprinkle a little cinnamon on top and slap on a tiny bit of butter for flavor. 

If you try making these muffins definitely tweet me a picture @citrusandstyle!

 I would love to see what you think :)
