Description

Banana Zucchini Muffins combine the sweetness of ripe bananas with the moisture of zucchini, creating a soft, fluffy, and nutritious muffin. Perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast, these muffins are packed with flavor and nutrients, making them a great choice for anyone looking to add more veggies to their diet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Grate the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a towel or paper towel.
  3. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Add eggs, honey, oil, and vanilla, then stir well.
  5. Combine the Ingredients: Stir the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients, then add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Add Optional Mix-Ins: Fold in walnuts, chocolate chips, or other mix-ins if desired.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup 2/3 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Grate the Zucchini Finely: The finer the zucchini, the smoother your muffin texture will be.
  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the muffins will be.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir the ingredients gently until just combined to ensure soft, fluffy muffins.
  • Customize with Add-ins: Add raisins, nuts, or even chocolate chips for extra flavor.
