Ingredients
Scale
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (like almond or soy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- Prepare the flax egg by mixing ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Squeezing the excess moisture from the grated zucchini is important for preventing soggy muffins.
- You can add chopped nuts or vegan chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
