VEGAN ZUCCHINI BREAKFAST MUFFINS

Muffins are the ultimate food for breakfast on-the-go. I don't care if it's banana, carrot, or even a savory muffin... give me them all! I love pairing muffins with fruit, yogurt or a couple hard boiled eggs for a quick breakfast. They're SO quick to whip up at the start of the week to make meals easier.

Ingredients:

– Flax seeds – Maple syrup – Olive oil – Vanilla extract – Bananas – Oat flour – Salt – Baking powder – Cinnamon – Zucchini – Chocolate chips – Walnuts

Can I turn these zucchini muffins into a loaf?

Yes! Turn these muffins into a loaf by pouring the batter into a greased 8.5x4.5 inch loaf pan and baking for about 40-50 minutes. Note that this recipe does use oat flour and a flax egg, so it does not have the same rise a typical zucchini bread will have. It's still delicious, but with a denser texture

Can you taste zucchini in muffins?

Not really. I love adding zucchini to baked goods because you can sneak in some added veggies while also creating this amazing moist texture.

Can I make these zucchini muffins oil-free?

There's no nutritionl benefit to going oil-free (we need healthy fats!), however you can try swapping the olive oil for applesauce. I haven't tested this, but would expect the overall texture to be a little denser. Leave me a comment if you try this swap!
