Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray 10 cavities of a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Lightly whisk to blend all the ingredients uniformly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the large egg, maple syrup, creamy almond butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and rolled oats. Optionally, you may add nuts or chocolate chips here.
  5. Fill and Bake: Evenly divide the batter between 10 muffin cavities, filling each about 3/4 full. Place on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops and edges turn golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes in the pan, then enjoy warm with a spread of butter or almond butter.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded zucchini to prevent soggy muffins.
  • You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Use certified gluten-free oats if strict gluten-free adherence is required.
  • These muffins are great as a snack, breakfast, or healthy dessert option.
