Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/3 cup milk nut or dairy
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups grated fresh zucchini
- 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats uncooked, plus extra for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 12-cup muffin tin well. ]
- In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder and soda, cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk to combine well.
- Make a well in the center of the dry mixture an add the egg, syrup or honey, milk, coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir until the mixture just comes together (don't over mix). Add the zucchini and oats and stir to combine.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle a few additional oats on eat muffin if desired. Bake for 16-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from the muffin pan and serve warm, at room temperature.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. This can cause the muffins to become dense and dry, and we don’t want that!
- You can also add chocolate chips to the batter if you want to make the muffins a little bit sweeter! I find it contrasts the zucchini flavor well.
- The best way to serve these muffins is warm, and to keep it simple with some butter!
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before attempting to take them out. This will help them set and be sturdy as you remove them from the tin.
