Zucchini Pineapple Muffins

These muffins are super yummy, and really pretty good for you! This is not my recipe, it's one a friend of mine got off the internet, and then I switched it up a bit, enjoy! :)

4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 cups organic evaporated cane juice(or sugar)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups applesauce
6 eggs
3 cups shredded zucchini
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
3 teaspoons vanilla extract

1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour 4 muffin pans, or use paper liners.
2.Double sift into a bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the applesauce, eggs, zucchini, pineapple and vanilla. Mix gently JUST until smooth. Fill muffin cups 2/3 to 3/4 full.
3.Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-Makes 4 dozen muffins. These freeze really well, and make a healthy and quick breakfast. I take mine out the night before to let them thaw.
