Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 2 cups roughly chopped zucchini
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil ((like canola oil))
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips ((optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  • Add the zucchini to the bowl of a food processor and process until well grated, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, except the flour and chocolate chips, and process for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the flour and chocolate chips, if using, and pulse to just combine. (The batter will be thick.)
  • Divide batter among the prepared muffin tin, using about 1 1/2 tablespoons batter per muffin cup, and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly.
  • Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or store for later.
