These are deliciously moist muffins that that'll disappear quickly! Use carrot or zucchini, or both if you prefer. I make a batch of each, then put some in the freezer (in Ziploc bags) for later, which usually isn't very long! My entire family just loves them!

Tips

For the perfect combination of moist and fluffy muffins, ensure your oven temperature is accurate. Use an oven thermometer to check the temperature before baking.
Don't overmix the batter; overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
If you want a golden brown top on your muffins, sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top before baking.
To enhance the flavor of the muffins, use ripe, juicy pineapple. Freshly grated pineapple is best, but canned pineapple can also be used.
If you don't have muffin liners, grease the muffin cups with cooking spray or butter to prevent the muffins from sticking.
