Bake up these heavenly soft and moist vegan zucchini muffins, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. This recipe is incredibly easy to make, and the zucchini adds a wonderful moisture to the batter without its flavor dominating. Cinnamon and vanilla provide a delightful spice, making every bite a true pleasure. Give them a try, and they're sure to become a new favorite!

Steps

1

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

2

Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure no lumps remain.

3

Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the grated zucchini, plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

4

Combine & Bake

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix! Spoon the batter into the muffin liners. Bake at 180°C (160°C fan) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5

Cooling

Remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Extra Tips

► Don't squeeze out the liquid from the grated zucchini, as this is what makes the muffins so moist.

► If you like, you can add a handful of chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips to the batter.

► Muffins are best fresh, but they will keep for several days in an airtight container.
