Description

These Moist Healthy Zucchini Muffins are incredibly light, fluffy, and naturally sweet! Packed with fresh zucchini and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, they make a comforting and delicious treat any time of day!


Ingredients

  • 1 and ½ cups (180 g) whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2 g) baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • 2 teaspoons (4 g) ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon (1 g) ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup (120 ml) maple syrup
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) unsweetened applesauce
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) coconut oil, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 and ¼ cups (150 g) grated zucchini, excess liquid squeezed out (about 1 and a half medium zucchinis)

Instructions

  1. Get your oven hot to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Place paper liners into a muffin tin or lightly spray the inside of each cup with cooking spray. Keep this ready.
  3. In a medium size bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir these dry things well.
  4. In a big bowl, combine the maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Gradually add the mixed dry items into the wet ingredients. Mix gently until everything is just combined.
  6. Squeeze the shredded zucchini firmly to get rid of extra water.
  7. Gently fold the squeezed zucchini into the batter.
  8. Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes. To check if they are done, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they are ready.
  10. Let the muffins cool slightly before serving.
