Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together oil and buttermilk until well-combined.
1/4 cup vegetable oil,
1/2 cup buttermilk
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until combined.
2 large eggs,
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Add the sugars, and whisk until combined.
1/2 cup brown sugar,
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Stir in grated carrots and zucchini.
1 cup grated zucchini,
1 cup grated carrot
Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir until just combined.
1 cup whole-wheat flour,
1 cup all-purpose flour,
1 teaspoon baking powder,
1/2 teaspoon baking soda,
1/2 teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Notes
Buttermilk:
Low-fat or full-fat buttermilk will work.
Brown sugar:
Light or dark brown sugar will work.
Zucchini:
I don't squeeze any of the moisture out of the zucchini.
Flour:
It's important to properly measure the flours. Sift or stir the flour, lightly spoon it into the measuring cup, and level.
