Description
Delicious zucchini muffins lightly sweetened with maple syrup and honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup avocado oil
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 2–3 small zucchini)
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
Instructions
- Lightly spray muffin pans, or line with paper liners and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl combine the oil, eggs, syrup, honey, and vanilla. Whisk together until well combined, then add the zucchini and mix.
- In a large bowl add the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and zest, and mix to combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Fill muffin tins 3/4 of the way full and bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
Optional glaze: Whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Drizzle over muffins and serve.
