Zucchini Carrot Mini-Muffins -- 5 Smart Points

I was bored tonight and decided to occupy myself by trying another new recipe.

These turned out pretty good.  Next time I make them I want to use part brown sugar Truvia and part Truvia for baking to see how the flavor changes.


You can add up to 1 cup of grated zucchini and use 1/2 cup grated carrots if you like.

I'm not 100% sure how to calculate the Smart Points for using Truvia.  If you read the information on the back of the package, you'll find there's an error in their calculations on the number of tablespoons in a cup.

Since the Truvia is so low in calories and it's divided between 24 portions, I omitted it in the calculation of Smart Points. 

These seven muffins are on a saucer, not a dinner plate.
