You will be amazed at how light and fluffy these zucchini muffins are, and if you are like me, you will want to drop a few handfuls of mini chocolate chips in the batter.
Mix it up and add other ingredients to these healthy muffins like:
- Chopped walnuts
- Raisins
- Cranberries
- Dried blueberries
Do you prefer a plain muffin, a muffin with butter, or peanut butter on your muffins? I’ll take mine any which way, but I have to admit I am starting to grab the peanut butter more and more. The peanut butter adds a little protein to my breakfast or snack, and that’s a good thing, too.
To Make These Healthy Zucchini Muffins, You Will Need These Ingredients:
- Zucchini ~ green or yellow
- Pure Maple Syrup
- Eggs
- Oil
- Dairy-Free Milk
- Vanilla
- Oat Flour
- Fine Blanched Almond Flour
- Baking Soda
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- Optional mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, I use Enjoy Life Allergy-Friendly Chips.
To reduce the fat content in these muffins, try this tip:
~ Use one whole egg and two egg whites instead of two whole eggs. Two whites have 0.2 grams of fat, and one whole egg has 5 grams of fat.
Fill muffin tins 3/4 full to get a nice rounded muffin.
Mmmm…so good! Â Enjoy!
