Vegan Zucchini Muffins

Vegan Zucchini Muffins

These zucchini muffins sneak vegetables into your diet while tasting like a treat. Soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet, they make mornings feel less miserable. Unlike some “healthy” baked goods, these actually taste good—no weird aftertaste, no dry texture. The zucchini keeps them moist without making them taste like salad. No dairy, no eggs, just pure plant-based magic. Bake a batch, freeze some for later, or eat half of them immediately. Either way, you get a nutrient-packed breakfast or snack without feeling like you’re forcing yourself to be healthy.
