Zucchini Oat Muffin Recipe

Posted on by
Zucchini Oat Muffins

Ingredients:
1 cup Zucchini grated or shredded
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Quick or old fashioned oats
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 cup Brown sugar substitute like Truvia or Swerve (Or Regular Brown Sugar)
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 cup All purpose flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup Unsweetened applesauce

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray the muffin pan with cooking spray.

Grate the zucchini. Use a wire strainer and spoon or cheese cloth to get the extra moisture out of the zucchini.

Mix the eggs, brown sugar substitute, vanilla extract together in a bowl. In a separate bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and oats.

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a wooden spoon. The mixture will look a little dry. Stir in the grated zucchini. The mixture will moisten back up during this step.

Use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop out enough mix that it is almost full. Divide it evenly into a muffin pan for 12 muffins.

Bake at 350 degrees for 23-26 minutes.

I have been able to find the brown sugar substitute at Walmart and Publix. You can always order it from Amazon as well. Let me know it you make them.
