Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Grease muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a bowl, sift flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the egg, sugar, applesauce, oil, yogurt, and vanilla.
  • Slowly add the wet and dry ingredients.
  • I do this in batches until everything is well incorporated.
  • Fold in the zucchini, lemon zest, jalapeño.
  • Do this slowly and gently.
  • Add a spoonful of the mixture to each of the muffin tin cups.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

I grated the zucchini using a sturdy box grater. Too much juice will make it loose.
If you don’t like spice, you can use a can of green chiles.
