Healthy Zucchini Oat Muffins
Healthy Zucchini Oat Muffins are wholesome breakfast muffins made with zucchini, rolled oats, whole-wheat flour, and naturally sweet banana.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), line a 12-cup muffin pan, and lightly squeeze the grated zucchini so it remains moist but not watery.
- Combine the oats, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, mashed banana, honey, and milk until smooth and evenly blended.
- Stir the zucchini into the wet ingredients, then pour the mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients.
- Fold gently until just combined, then let the batter stand for about 5 minutes so the oats can begin absorbing moisture.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake for 18–20 minutes until the centers spring back lightly when touched.
- Cool for several minutes in the pan before moving the muffins to a wire rack, then store once completely cooled.
