Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups soft white wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (or oil of choice)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Instructions

Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and spraying a muffin tray or lining with paper liners.
Next, whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices) in a large mixing bowl.
In a smaller bowl, combine oil and sugars, mixing well. Then add in zucchini, vanilla, egg, and applesauce. Combine.
Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Don't over-mix muffin batter, or it will affect the texture of your muffins.
Scoop batter into muffin tin, filling almost to the top of each one.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges and tops are lightly browned.
Let cool in muffin tray for 5 minutes, then remove muffins and let finish cooling on a cooling rack.
Tips
  • If you don't like your zucchini bread overly sweet, cut back on the sugar by 1/4 or 1/2 cup. Or if you only have sweetened applesauce, pull back on the sugar by 1/2 cup.
  • These freeze really well. Simply place cooled muffins in a freezer bag or container and seal. Take out a frozen muffin or two when ready to eat, and warm in microwave for 30 seconds.
