Ingredients
2 cups thinly-grated zucchini (with the peel) - equivalent to 1 large zucchini
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
8oz (240g) spelt flour
4.2oz (120g) almond flour
7oz (200g) coconut sugar -or- granulated sugar
2 tbsps plant-based plain yogurt
6oz/180mL plant-based protein-rich milk
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/4 cup walnut oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp apple vinegar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 360F/180C.
Line muffin pans with muffin nonstick paper cups. You'll need about 16-18 muffin cups ready for the batter.
Thinly grate the zucchini into a large mixing bowl.
Mash the banana and add it to the bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients, and mix well until the ingredients blend and are combined consistently.
Pour the batter to each muffin cup, up to 3/4 of their height or even up to the top if you'd like for the muffin top to extend beyond the paper cup.
Immediately place the pans in the oven, and bake for 25 minutes or until a golden crispy top is formed.
Cool before serving.
