Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a muffin pan with cooking spray or liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, applesauce, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and shredded zucchini until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not over-mix.
  5. Spoon the batter into muffin cavities until full. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C), then lower the temperature to 350°F (177°C) without opening the oven door and bake for an additional 13-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
