Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated unpeeled zucchini
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to get it ready for baking the muffins.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mix the vanilla extract, grated unpeeled zucchini, eggs, cane sugar, and unsweetened applesauce until the mixture is uniform.
  4. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners or regular muffin liners sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 27 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool slightly, then serve warm with butter for a delicious snack or breakfast treat.

Notes

  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute the cane sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
  • Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and taste.
