Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds
- 2 ½ tablespoons of warm water

- In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground flaxseeds and warm water for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder and mix well. Form a well in the flour mixture and add the vegetable oil, flax meal mixture, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and grated zucchini. Gently mix together.
- Fill your cupcake tin with batter (filled to the top).
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick comes out of the center of the muffin clean.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- To save time: A grating disk will shred the zucchini in seconds.
- To avoid dense muffins: Measure the flour properly by spooning it into your measuring cup and using the back of a knife to level it. Also, avoid over-mixing the batter.
- Don’t squeeze the zucchini: We want all the liquid in it to add moisture to these easy vegan zucchini muffins.
