Equipment

1 Box Grater
1 Large Mixing Bowl
1 Rubber Spatula
1 12- Cup Muffin Tin
12 Paper Muffin Liners

Ingredients

2 Cup All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 Cups Grated Zucchini Unpeeled, grated on the large side of a box grater
¾ Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed
½ Cup Non-Dairy Milk
⅓ Cup Canola Oil
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 teaspoon Granulated Sugar or Turbinado Sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425*F. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
2 Cup All-Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1 ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Baking Soda, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, brown sugar, non-dairy milk, canola oil, and vanilla. Mix well with a spatula, then add the dry ingredients and mix until no streaks of flour remain.
2 Cups Grated Zucchini, ¾ Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed, ½ Cup Non-Dairy Milk, ⅓ Cup Canola Oil, 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Portion the batter into a lined muffin tin, filling them ¾ of the way. Top each muffin with a sprinkle of cranulated or turbinado sugar.
2 teaspoon Granulated Sugar or Turbinado Sugar
Bake the muffins in a 425*F oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350*F and continue baking for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. See note!
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Notes

2 cups of grated zucchini is about 1 large zucchini grated on the large side of a box grater. There is no need to peel it! Zucchini skin is thin and tender, and you will not taste it or feel it in the muffins.

Pay close attention to the baking directions. These Vegan Zucchini Muffins are started in a hot oven to kickstart the rise, then the oven temperature is reduced to finish baking.
