Published 8/14/2023 Say hello to the most delicious zucchini muffin recipe you’ll ever sink your teeth into! I am a biggggg muffin lover, but I especially love a muffin recipe when I can use produce from my own garden. These one-bowl zucchini muffins are a huge hit in my house because they are made with white whole wheat flour, a whole cup of shredded zucchini, and we’re giving you options to make them refined sugar free. PS: try our Zucchini Bread recipe. It’s as equally delicious!
What is in this zucchini muffin recipe?
These muffins are based on our signature healthy muffin base recipe with just a few tweaks. Here’s what you need to get started:
white whole wheat flour coconut sugar shredded zucchini chocolate chips eggs maple syrup almond milk banana coconut oil
All About the Zucchini
For this recipe, you’re going to need 1 cup of coarsely grated zucchini. I bolded coarsely for a reason ^^ and that’s because I love seeing little green specks of zucchini in the muffins once they come out of the oven. If you grate your zucchini finely, they’ll blend right in!
Ingredient Swaps/Substitutions
Sweetener: feel free to swap the coconut sugar for light brown sugar, the maple syrup for honey, and mashed banana for applesauce. Flour: we’ve made these zucchini muffins with all-purpose flour swapping 1:1. While we haven’t tested it, we’re confident an all-purpose gluten-free flour will work too. Zucchini: don’t have zucchini? Try summer squash!
Turn these muffins into zucchini bread!
Don’t have a muffin liner? Simply pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and top with chocolate chips. Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for 20-30 more minutes or until the center is fully cooked. Use a cheesecloth or thin towel to do so. Place the grated zucchini in the middle of the cloth and then squeeze the moisture out. Try a similar zucchini bread recipe HERE!

Let your zucchini muffins cool completely on a cooling rack. Then, transfer them into an airtight container or gallon-size plastic bag and store them on the countertop for up to 2-3 days OR in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
