    These Zucchini Bread Muffins are made with freshly grated zucchini, a bit of applesauce to cut down on the amount of oil, a hint of cinnamon, and some ground flaxseed for a slightly nutty flavor.

    Zucchini Bread Muffins with applesauce and ground flax are extremely light. And because none of the flavors are overpowering, they make a perfect breakfast or afternoon snack.

    How to make this recipe

    Before you start to mix the ingredients you need to shred the zucchini. A regular box grater works great for this. Of course, you can also use a food processor with the shredding attachment.

    After shredding the zucchini, I like to place it on a few paper towels to soak up a bit of the excess liquid. I also use additional paper towels and lightly tap away some liquid.

    Flour mixed with baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a cream bowl next to a whisk

    For making the batter, the first thing to do is mix the baking soda, baking powder, and salt with the flour. I put them all into a small bowl and lightly whisk them together.

    In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the granulated sugar, applesauce, canola oil, and the vanilla. Whisk together.

    To the mixed liquids add the ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and the flour that has already been mixed with the baking soda, baking powder, and the salt. Stir until combined.

    Coat a muffin pan with non-stick spray. Give it a fairly good amount to coat, we don't want these muffins to stick at all. I opted not to use muffin papers for this recipe. I wanted the lightly crisp edges that you get when making zucchini bread.

    Bake the Zucchini Bread Muffins in a 350-degree oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the muffins. Mine baked for 17 minutes. Remember, all ovens vary.

    Store the muffins in a container with a lid at room temperature. Or, in a zip-loc bag.
