Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup honey melted
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups grated zucchini do not ring water out*

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners or spray well with nonstick spray. In a medium mixing whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl mix together the honey, yogurt, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Fold the dry mixture in with the wet mixture just until combined (do not over-mix). Then fold in the grated zucchini.
  • Divide the batter into 12 prepared muffin tins and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

Recipe Notes:
  • Place leftovers in an airtight container or large zip-lock bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Heat in the microwave before eating to make the muffins soft and warm. You can also just let them come to room temperature for a few minutes. 
  • To Freeze, place muffins in an airtight container or large zip-lock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost your muffins, place them in the refrigerator to defrost overnight or on the counter for a few hours.
  • If you want these muffins to be bite-sized, add them to a mini muffin pan instead to make  Mini Zucchini Muffins. Be sure to reduce the baking time to 10-15 minutes since they won’t need as much time to bake.
  • Other Muffin Add Ins: Raisins, shredded carrots, blueberries, raspberries, pumpkin puree, chopped nuts, seeds, cinnamon chips, and sprinkles.
