Equipment

Muffin Tin

Ingredients

¼ cup avocado oil (or other neutral flavored oil)
2 large eggs
⅓ cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cup finely-ground almond flour
1 cup gluten-free oat flour
⅓ cup pure cane sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups zucchini, grated

Instructions

Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with paper or silicone liners.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the Dry Ingredients: Add the almond flour, oat flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir gently until just incorporated. Add the zucchini and stir again until combined.
Bake: Fill each section of a 12-section muffin tin with an equal amount of batter, then bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the sides and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then cool the rest on a cooling rack.

Notes

Got lots of leftover zucchini? I like to grate it, store it and stash it away in the back corner of the freezer. If you pre-measure it into the perfect zucchini bread-making (or zucchini muffin-making) amounts, then you’ll be ready for baking even in the cold months.
Nut-Free: Finely ground almond flour works best for these zucchini muffins and is a great naturally gluten-free option. For a nut-free option, you can substitute more oat flour in place for almond flour.
