Shredded Zucchini Oat Muffins

How it’s already September is beyond me. Although this year has been dreadful, I will give it credit for going by quickly! Suffice it to say, we’re in month seven of social distancing, and getting back to eating healthy has become a big priority in our household. I’m a self-admitted carbs lover, so if I ever get a chance to make a healthier alternative to the carbs I love, I’m all over it! These shredded zucchini oat muffins are delicious and easier on the guilt.

As I mentioned earlier this year, I’ve been enjoying trying my hand at more baking, while staying home. You might remember this delicious banana bread recipe I shared at the start of summer. It’s become a sort of game for myself to try and see if I can keep the sweet and delicious taste that we love in our baked goods, while swapping out some of the unhealthy ingredients.

For these zucchini oat muffins, I used sugar alternatives such as maple syrup and apple sauce. You still get a sweet taste, but without the refined sugar. That’s a win in my book!

As for the zucchini, I LOVE zucchini in a variety of recipes. It’s a versatile vegetable that works with so many ingredients. Plus, if you have kiddos, these zucchini oat muffins are a great way to sneak in some veggies, bypassing the obvious cut vegetables on a lunch or dinner plate. Perfect breakfast on the go or snacks for the entire family!
