Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut (shredded)
- 1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)

- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup maple syrup

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
- Whisk together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, coconut, and walnuts until combined.
- Add in the grated zucchini and carrots, stirring gently to incorporate.
- Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add in the wet ingredients: applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, avocado oil, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk the wet ingredients together until blended, then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop the batter into your prepared muffin tins, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 7 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
