4. Place all the wet ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
5. Pour the wet ingredients and the veggies into the dry mix and combine gently. Take care not to over mix.
6. Using a spoon, add the batter to each muffin cup/patty pan 3/4 of the way full.
7. Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of pepitas on top before baking.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Check a muffin with a toothpick, it should come out almost clean.
