Today we’re bridging the gap between summer and fall with these Apple Zucchini Muffins. I made them a bit sweeter than intended but really loved it so it’s sticking in the recipe. Sometimes breakfast just calls for something really sweet.

Instructions
1
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease (or line) a 12 cup muffin tin.
2
Grate the zucchini and apple into a large paper towel (can also use a regular towel) and let sit for 5 minutes. After that time, squeeze the paper towel VERY tight over the sink to remove the excess moisture. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
4
Add in the grated zucchini and apple and stir to coat.
5
Making a well in the center, add in the milk, vanilla, flax egg, and apple sauce. Stir to combine but be careful not to over stir.
6
Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tin and bake for 10 minutes.
7
After 10 minutes, lower the temperature to 375 and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
8
Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Let cool slightly and ENJOY!!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Squeeze Your Zucchini Dry 💧Grate your zucchini and squeeze it in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, preventing dense, soggy muffins and ensuring a light, fluffy crumb.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥣Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined with some small lumps remaining; overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense muffins instead of tender ones.
- Dice Your Apples Finely ✂️Cut apples into small, uniform pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the batter and cook completely, avoiding hard chunks in the finished muffins.
- Let Flax Eggs Sit Before Using 🌱Combine ground flaxseed with water and let it rest for 5 minutes to fully thicken and activate before folding into your wet ingredients for optimal binding.
- Cool Before Removing from Pan 🧊Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out; this lets them firm up enough to release cleanly without falling apart.
