Ingredients

  • 285 g All Purpose Flour 2⅓ cup
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 ¼ tsp Cardamom
  • ½ tsp Nutmeg
  • ½ tsp Ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp Clove
  • ¼ tsp All spice
  • 150 g Dark brown sugar ¾ cup
  • 50 g Granulated sugar ¼ cup
  • 218 g Neutral oil 1 cup, vegetable, canola
  • 2 large Eggs room temp
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 180-200 g Grated zucchini 1 large zucchini, 2 cups

Glaze

  • 60 g Confectioners' sugar ½ cup, sifted
  • 2 tbsp Chai concentrate/Strongly brewed chai
  • ¼ tsp Vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Lightly grease or line muffin tins with liners, set aside. Preheat oven to 425°F
  • Grate your zucchini into a bowl. You do not need to blot or dry it. I find it easiest to weigh my bowl, tare out the weight and then grate into the bowl to see how much I have rather than using a measuring cup. Set aside.
  • In a small/medium size bowl, add flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and allspice. Whisk together.
  • In a large bowl, add your sugar and oil and stir together.
  • Add your eggs and vanilla. You don't have to add one at a time or use a whisk, but make sure the mixture is completely homogenous before moving on.
  • Add in your zucchini and mix.
  • Add your dry ingredients to the wet and fold together with a rubber spatula until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Fill muffin cups ¾ full and bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F and bake for another 15 minutes. Toothpick inserted into center will come out clean. Remove from tins immediately and let cool on wire rack.
  • Muffins can be enjoyed without glaze for a less sweet version. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Make glaze: In a small bowl, add powdered sugar, cinnamon, chai and vanilla and whisk together.
  • After muffins have cooled for at least 10 minutes, drizzle or pour over muffins. Enjoy!
