Ingredients:
- 2 large overripe bananas, mashed (approx. 1 cup / 225g)
- 1 cup (120g) finely grated zucchini, squeezed dry
- 2 large eggs (100g)
- 1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt
- 1 tbsp (6g) ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with liners.
- Grate the zucchini using the fine side of a box grater.
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, maple syrup, melted oil, and vanilla until combined.
- Fold the squeezed zucchini into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until no clumps remain.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet base using a spatula, stirring only until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
