Zucchini is abundant this time of year. Here is a delicious way to use it. These muffins freeze well, too.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 16-19 minutes
Total Time: Less than 1/2 hour
Yield: 12
Link: Cookie and Kate
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped raw walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine-grain sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups grated zucchini
- 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease muffin tins, or use liners.
- Toast the nuts (if using). Once the oven has finished preheating, pour the chopped nuts onto a small, rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are fragrant and toasted, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring halfway.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and honey. Beat them with a whisk until they are combined.
- Add the eggs and beat well.
- Add the buttermilk, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and vanilla extract, and whisk to blend.
- Stir in the zucchini, then add the flour and stir just until combined.
- Gently fold in the toasted nuts now, if using.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups.
- Bake muffins for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
- Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. Muffins can be left on counter 2 days, in refrigerator 4 days, or frozen up to 3 months.
