Our Favorite Healthy Zucchini Muffins
My kids are completely obsessed with these healthy zucchini muffins, and I love that for all of us. ♡
They’re soft, warmly spiced, naturally gluten-free, sweetened with maple syrup, and packed with a full half pound of fresh zucchini. I love knowing there’s that much veg tucked inside, while my kids mostly just care that they taste really, really good.
I tested these a few different ways to get the oat flour and zucchini balance just right. The key is gently squeezing out the excess moisture from the grated zucchini without drying it out completely, then letting the batter rest for a few minutes before baking. That gives you muffins that are tender and fluffy instead of gummy or crumbly.
We all love these muffins exactly as written, but they’re very easy to customize. Toss in some chocolate chips, chopped nuts, berries, raisins, or whatever else sounds good. The recipe is pretty flexible, so make it your own and enjoy!!
