Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 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

Wet Ingredients

  • 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. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to get it ready for baking the muffins.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix the vanilla extract, grated unpeeled zucchini, eggs, cane sugar, and unsweetened applesauce until the mixture is uniform.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Prepare muffin tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners or regular muffin liners sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake: 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. Serve: Let the muffins cool slightly, then serve warm with butter for a delicious snack or breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Use unpeeled zucchini to add more nutrients and texture to the muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure the muffins stay soft and tender.
  • If you prefer, substitute cane sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Adding chopped nuts or raisins can add extra flavor and texture.
