Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds
- 2 ½ tablespoons of warm water
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- ¾ cups of granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- ⅓ cup of vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup of plant-based milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup of grated zucchini
- 1 ¼ cups of fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line tin with liners.
- In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground flaxseeds and warm water for 1 minute. Place in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
- 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. Fold in 1 cup of the blueberries, reserving ¼ cup for topping.
- Fill your cupcake tin with batter (filled to the top). Top with remaining blueberries, pushing them gently into the top of the batter.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick comes out of the center of the muffin clean.

Notes
- Thoroughly drain the zucchini: Thanks to the berries, these vegan zucchini muffins are already moist, so it's essential to thoroughly squeeze out the excess moisture from the grated zucchini.
- For quick prep: Use a food processor grating disk to shred the zucchini in seconds.
- Measure the flour correctly: Use a spoon to add the flour to your measuring cup without pressing or packing it down. Then use the back of a knife to level off the top. Otherwise, you may add too much, and the zucchini bread muffins will be dense.
- Don't over mix the muffin batter: Otherwise, you risk overworking the gluten and affecting the texture and rise. A few lumps in the batter are okay.
