Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Add honey, applesauce, egg, and vanilla. Mix until just combined.
Fold in grated zucchini and mini chocolate chips if using.
Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
For extra moisture, squeeze excess water from zucchini before adding.
Swap chocolate chips for nuts or dried fruit if preferred.
