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:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Mash bananas in a medium bowl until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, squeezed zucchini, eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, stopping the moment no streaks of flour remain.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among 12 lined muffin cups.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are mahogany-colored and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
