Zucchini Carrot Squares

I made a batch of these muffin-like squares for my family to have as snacks last week.  In the end, I think the batter would have worked just as well in a muffin tin and easier to hand out to little hands.  But they were good nonetheless.  Everyone was a fan!

adapted from this recipe


1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups grated carrots
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla


Preheat oven to 350.  Spray 13x9 baking pan with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and baking soda.  Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine all other ingredients.
Add carrot mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until combined.
Spread evenly into prepared pan.  Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting into squares.
Tastes nicely with cream cheese or butter!
