  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts. Add the grated zucchini and carrots; mix well.
  3. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, avocado oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully blended.
  4. Create a well in the dry mixture's center and pour in the wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  5. Scoop the batter into prepared muffin tins and bake for about 25–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Allow muffins to cool for about 7 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a cooling rack.
