  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup oat flour prepared by pulsing oats in a food processor until finely ground

Notes

Peel zucchini before shredding to avoid green specks. If zucchini is dry, add a little water and strain to remove excess moisture. These muffins are naturally gluten-free and oil-free. For variations, consider adding dark chocolate chips or rainbow sprinkles. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
