I love making these muffins in late summer to early fall. They're a great way to use up some of those summer zucchini you probably have laying around. Apples add a touch of natural sweetness and the carrots are just an easy way to add even more veggies!

These muffins are fairly moist so I store them loosely covered in the refrigerator. If you want them a bit sweeter, you can add more sugar.

Hope you enjoy these muffins! Be sure to pin them to remind yourself to make them when you have a free minute!
