Notes

Add-ins and Substitutes

  • Substitute other fruits. Applesauce is great as a binder and for flavor, but if you want to add other fresh or dried fruits, you can try blueberries, cranberries, dates, or banana.
  • Add seeds. For a boost of healthy flavor, add chia seeds, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds.
  • Substitute gluten free. By replacing the all-purpose flour with a gluten free baking flour 1:1, you can make this allergen friendly.
  • Add nuts. These Vegan Zucchini Muffins would also taste great with chopped nuts added in. Enjoy them with almonds, pecans, and walnuts.
