Ingredients:
- 2 medium overripe bananas, mashed (approx. 1 cup)
- 1 cup (115g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grate the zucchini using the small holes of a box grater. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess water.
- Mash bananas in a medium bowl until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, squeezed zucchini, eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, stopping the moment no streaks of flour remain.
- Divide the batter evenly among 12 lined muffin cups.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are mahogany-colored and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
