Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 cups Splenda (granulated)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Zucchini
• 1 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a larger bowl, beat the egg lightly. Then add the unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, honey, Splenda, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the shredded and squeezed zucchini into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your low fat zucchini muffins! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
