Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling on top of the muffins, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
- In another bowl, combine the oil, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and grated zucchini, mixing until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as you should still see a few streaks of flour.
- Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top. Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs attached.
- Cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the pan before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or allow to cool before freezing.
Notes
For best flavor, use fresh grated zucchini and not pre-packaged.
These muffins freeze well; simply store them in an airtight container after they cool completely.
You can substitute coconut oil for the avocado oil if desired.
