Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour (can substitute with all-purpose flour)
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (such as greek yogurt)
- 1/3 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup milk (e.g., almond milk)
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, 7 oz, do not drain moisture)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin
Set your oven to 425°F and allow it to preheat.
While waiting, grease a muffin tin thoroughly to prevent the muffins from sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Ensure these dry ingredients are well combined for even distribution in the muffins.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a medium bowl or a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the yogurt, oil, milk, vanilla, and egg until smooth.
Add in the grated zucchini and stir it into the wet mixture.
Step 4: Create the Muffin Batter
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients.
Use a wooden spoon to stir just until the ingredients are combined, ensuring not to over-mix.
The batter will be thick.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
Step 5: Fill and Top Muffin Cups
Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 prepared muffin cups.
Optionally, sprinkle each muffin with 1/4 teaspoon of sugar for a crunchy exterior and top with additional chocolate chips if desired.
Step 6: Bake and Cool
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes at 425°F.
After 8 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (without removing the muffins) and continue baking for another 13-14 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
