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 the oven to 425°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, fine kosher salt, ground cinnamon, and ground allspice together.
- In another bowl, whisk the avocado oil (or vegetable oil), melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and grated zucchini until well combined.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, folding them together with a rubber spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
- Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin pan. Optionally, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before placing the pan in the oven.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely before freezing.
Notes
Ensure the zucchini is well grated for even distribution in the muffins.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
For a lower sugar option, consider reducing the amount of brown and granulated sugar.
