Description

Wholesome and comforting muffins packed with fresh fruits and vegetables, perfect for any time of day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)
  • 1 cup zucchini (grated and wrung out)
  • 2 cups carrots (grated)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, coconut, and walnuts until combined.
  3. Add the grated zucchini and carrots, stirring gently to incorporate.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients: applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, avocado oil, and vanilla extract.
  5. Whisk the wet ingredients until blended, then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 7 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

For best results, wring out excess moisture from the zucchini. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
