🥒 Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)

- ½ cup oat flour (or blend rolled oats into flour)
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional for savory flavor)
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional but amazing for cheesy flavor)
- ¾ cup unsweetened plant milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps fluff them up!)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional for a subtle sweetness)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a muffin tray.
2️⃣ Prep the zucchini:
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out extra water using a towel or cheesecloth.
3️⃣ Mix dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutritional yeast.
4️⃣ Combine wet ingredients:
In another bowl, mix plant milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup.
5️⃣ Combine & fold:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini.
6️⃣ Fill & bake:
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin (about ¾ full each). Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.
