I love zucchini bread, but I like the convenience of a muffin. I found a recipe for a zucchini bread with oats in it and decided to remix it, reduce the sugar and make it into muffins. My idea sounded pretty healthy and they actually turned out to be very good. Slathered with butter and drizzled with honey makes them even more divine. They are a dense but moist muffin and this recipe makes 12 muffins if you fill the cups 3/4 full. They dont rise much.
What you need;
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups shredded zucchini
How to make;
Mix all dry ingredients together, set aside. Mix all wet ingredients together in a separate bowl, fold in zucchini. Make a well in your dry bowl and pour the wet into the dry. Fold the wet into the dry until incorporated. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
*add two mashed bananas to the batter to make them Banana Zucchini Oatmeal Muffins*
Just sitting down now having one of your yummy muffins with a cup of tea while my youngest naps. Bliss!! I followed your recipe pretty much exactly except my son is anaphylactic to eggs so I used an egg replacer. They are super moist and I love the oatmeal in them. Its zucchini season here and i just grated 10 cups from a large zucchini and used this recipe for some and froze the rest. I will def be making these again with my other 8 cups!! Thanks for sharing

I’m so glad you enjoyed the muffins and they adapted well with an egg substitute. I will have more zucchini recipes soon and an oatmeal blueberry muffin recipe too.

Thank you for this recipe it was delicious and moist! Since I am vegan I had to adjust recipe using flaxmeal egg replacement and also found it fun to add different things such as 2 tbs of hempseeds, and replaced honey with brown rice syrup and will add some nuts next time. Healthy way to start the morning with a green drink and muffin! Looking forward to the oatmeal blueberry recipe 🙂

I tried this recipe and used paper muffin liners. Unfortunately I found that half the muffin stuck to the wrapper! What a shame because the muffins (what I can manage to get off the wrapper) are delicious. Luckily I did half the batter in a Pyrex baking dish and that turned out perfect! Delicious and moist and not too sweet! I will definitely use this recipe again but would stick to my Pyrex baking dish and do more of a sheet cake next time.

Well that’s a shame that they stuck to the liner! I’m glad you were able to salvage some and enjoyed them. This recipe can definitely be converted into a loaf or cake. Thanks for your comment!

I used to have problems with muffins sticking to the paper liners & then discovered that if you spray the liners with a little bit of canola oil spray & brush it around with the baking brush them always come off perfectly!!

Thanks for your comment! The more liquid your shredded zucchini gives off, the more moist the muffins will be. I have had a dry batch as well. I’ll have to try substituting coconut oil!

Hi there! I would thaw the frozen zucchini and then strain it removing the excess liquid. It will still retain some liquid which is needed for this recipe.

I was looking for a zucchini muffin recipe that used oatmeal (not oatmeal flour). I found your recipe! I had 2 cups of flour left in my bin. I didn’t want to leave 1/2 cup of flour in my bin so I only used 1/2 cup of oatmeal. This recipe is GREAT! I will definitely make this again. Thanks so much!!!
