Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, excess moisture squeezed out)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken into a flax egg.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg until well combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and any optional nuts.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure you squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini for the best texture.
  • You can substitute other non-dairy milks if preferred.
  • For a sweeter muffin, you can add a tablespoon or two more sugar.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
