Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (grated) Zucchini
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons (or as per sweetness preference) Liquid stevia or other sugar-free sweetener
- 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the grated zucchini onto a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the grated zucchini and liquid stevia or sugar-free sweetener. If using, gently stir in the chopped walnuts.
Distribute the batter evenly across the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Low Fat Sugar Free Zucchini Bread Muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast!
