There is something so comforting about a fresh batch of muffins coming out of the oven. These are a personal favorite in my house because they are moist, sweet, and a little bit healthier thanks to the addition of shredded zucchini and hearty oats.

My best tip for success is to make sure you squeeze as much moisture as you can out of your grated zucchini. This keeps the muffins from getting too soggy and ensures a perfect crumb every time you bake them.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix the mashed bananas, grated zucchini, Greek yogurt, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

  5. 5

    Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

  6. 6

    Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Tips

These muffins keep well in an airtight container on the counter for three days. You can also freeze them for up to three months and simply pop one in the microwave for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
