Description

These banana zucchini muffins are naturally sweetened with no added sugar making them the perfect healthy breakfast or snack option for baby led weaning and picky toddlers.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cup zucchini shredded (4 medium zucchinis)
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 tahini
  • 2 tb Chia seeds
  • 2 c Oat flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a large muffin tray
  • Wash and shred zucchini using a cheese grater into a bowl
  • Once the zucchini is shredded place in a cheese cloth or towel and ring the zucchini out, removing any excess liquid you can.
  • Place the shredded zucchini in a large bowl and add 3 ripe mashed bananas, 1/4 cup milk, 2 eggs, vanilla, and 1/4 cup tahini.
  • Mix all wet ingredients until well combined
  • Next add chia seeds, oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda
  • Mix again with a fork or spatula until well combined.
  • At this point if you feel your batter is too wet you could add a little more oat flour, or a few tablespoons of maple syrup for a sweeter muffin.
  • Scoop into well greased muffin tins, and bake for 40-45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving

Notes

  • If you notice that your muffins are coming out a little gummy you probably need to bake them longer. Zucchini’s hold A LOT of water, which is why these muffins need to be baked for ~45 minutes.
  • If you would like a sweeter muffin you can sprinkle some brown sugar or honey on top after they come out of the oven, or you could add a few tablespoons of honey or brown sugar to the recipe.
  • These muffins will stick to paper liners or an un-greased muffin tin so make sure to spray your muffin liners if using them, or grease your metal tin very well before adding the muffin batter.
