Mini Zucchini Muffins (With Oat Flour)
These mini zucchini muffins are soft, moist, and lightly sweet with the perfect tender texture for little hands. Made with oat flour, shredded zucchini, Greek yogurt, and chopped nuts, these wholesome mini muffins are a great option for breakfast, lunchboxes, or an easy snack to keep on hand during the week.
Servings: 24 mini muffins
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup finely shredded zucchini packed
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup oil mild tasting
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup add-ins (ex: finely chopped nuts) optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 24-cup mini silicone (or metal) muffin pan.
- Finely grate the zucchini using a box grater and use your hands or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out the excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, add the egg, Greek yogurt, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the squeezed, grated zucchini and any add-ins.
- Spoon tablespoon-sized portions of batter evenly into the mini muffin pan.
- Bake the muffins for 15 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool fully before serving.
Notes
- This recipe makes 24 mini zucchini muffins. You may make regular-sized oat bites by adding a few more minutes to the total bake time.
- I love to use a silicone mini muffin pan for baking these mini muffins as they pop out easily without sticking. If using a regular mini muffin pan, be sure to coat it with cooking spray beforehand.
- I love using this nutribullet blender to blend rolled oats into a batter to make my own oat flour!
- Make sure to use a mild-tasting oil like extra light-tasting olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil. I do not recommend using normal olive oil in this recipe as the strong taste may overpower the muffins.
