Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk eggs, oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine & fold: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini and optional add-ins.
  5. Fill muffin tin: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool & enjoy: Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins freeze beautifully — just wrap tightly and store for up to 3 months. You can also reduce sugar for a less sweet version or add raisins for extra texture.
