Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded and squeezed dry) zucchini
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups with cooking spray.
Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the shredded zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18-20 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 before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
