Prepare. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prep your muffin pan for nonstick.
Zucchini. Shred the zucchini. You can use a box grater to easily do this. Then place the shredded zucchini on a small stack of clean paper towels to drain the excess water (you can also blot the shreds).
Flax. In a large mixing bowl, use a fork to combine together the flax and oat milk. Allow this to sit while you move on to the next step.
Dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest.
Combine. Use a clean whisk to combine together the maple syrup and oil with the ingredients in the large mixing bowl (flax and oat milk). Then whisk in the dry ingredients from the medium bowl. Lastly, use a rubber spatula or similar item to fold in the chopped walnuts.
Bake. Fill the muffin cups about three fourths of the way full. Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of two of the muffins comes out clean.
Cool. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for ten minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to fully cool or serve.
Recipe Notes
*Please check the nutritional labels to assure that you are sticking to your diet restrictions for any substitutions used. Also, please see the actual recipe post for further details on this recipe.Nutritional Information is only an estimate and can vary especially with ingredients that are used.
When adding the shredded zucchini, use a rubber spatula or similar item to fold, rather than mix, the zucchini into the other ingredients. This helps keep the zucchini intact and prevents the other ingredients from absorbing excess moisture before baking.
