If there’s an award for successfully sneaking more veggies into tasty treats, today’s Zucchini Apple Crumble Muffins recipe would win it.

If you’ve never hidden zucchini in a baked good before, there are a few things to know. You need to squeeze out the extra liquid before you start. Otherwise you’ll end up with soupy muffins. I use a kitchen towel because it’s the most absorbent and more eco friendly than a paper towel. 

For today’s recipe, I used a green apple. They were in our most recent Misfit Market’s box (review to come soon). But you can use whatever apples you have on hand. I’m a bit fussy about the texture of an apple if I’m eating it plain/with almond butter. But I find that it doesn’t matter as much when you throw baking into the mix. So feel free to adapt to what you have available. 

Zucchini Apple Crumble Muffins Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make your soon to be newest obsession:

zucchini

maple syrup

pasture raised eggs

coconut oil

vanilla extract

almond milk

grain free baking powder

almond flour

coconut flour

salt

apple

coconut sugar

How To Store & Reheat

The zucchini apple crumble muffins will keep in the fridge for a few days. But if you’re not going to eat them all at once, I’d recommend freezing them in a stasher bag for later. These are best reheated in the toaster oven for 3-5 minutes or for 20 seconds in the microwave.

Baking Your Zucchini Apple Crumble Muffins
