How To Make Vegan Zucchini Muffins
This is the easiest vegan zucchini muffin recipe you will ever make!
- Making your own vegan buttermilk is easy, and it adds the best texture to muffins. To make it, whisk almond milk and lemon juice in a mixing bowl.
- Set it aside for 5 to 10 minutes or until the dairy-free milk slightly curdles.
- Next, trim the zucchini ends and keep the zucchini skin on. Zucchini nutrients are stored in their skin, so it’s better to keep the zucchini peel to add vitamins, fibers, and minerals to your vegan muffins.
- Then, grate the zucchini using the smaller attachment of your box grater or food processor.
- Place the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Gather the corner, twist, and squeeze as hard as you can to extract the excess juice from the vegetable.
- Discard the zucchini juice and keep the shredded, drained zucchini aside in a bowl.
- In another bowl, stir flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the prepared buttermilk, coconut sugar, and unrefined cane sugar, and whisk to combine.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the liquid ingredients in two addition to prevent lumps.
- Finally, stir in chopped pecan and vegan dark chocolate chips.
- Transfer the vegan zucchini muffin batter into a 12-hole muffin tin filled with paper cases. Fill each case up to 3/4 of their level.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper cases.
- Slightly oil the case with oil spray – this makes it easier to peel off the paper from the muffins after they are baked and cooled.
- Bake the vegan muffins with zucchini in the center rack of the oven at 350°F (180°C) until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean – about 30 minutes.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Maku ja koostumus
These muffins have a similar flavor to my popular vegaaninen kesäkurpitsaleipäresepti, but their texture is fluffier and less dense.
It’s a soft, moist, and light vegan muffin recipe perfect for a flavorsome summer breakfast or sweet afternoon snack.

Allergiavaihdot
You can use this recipe using some alternatives to fit any food allergies you may have.
- Gluteeniton – Replace flour with all-purpose gluten-free flour containing added gums. The recipe won’t work with almond flour or coconut flour.
- Pähkinätön – Replace the chopped pecans with more chocolate chips or seeds. Hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, or coconut flakes taste good in these vegan zucchini muffins.
- Sokeriton – Replace the sugar with erythritol or xylitol.
More Vegan Zucchini Baked Goods
I love to bake with shredded zucchini in summer to use all my garden zucchini. It’s also the best way to add greens to your plate and moisture to baked goods. Below I listed my favorite vegan zucchini recipes for you to try.












a little confused with the gf conversion, is this in place of ingredients in recipe or added? ie baking soda and vineger. Thanks , absolutely love that I have found you!!
When you sue the gluten-free converter, you remove only 1 ingredient from the original recipe – the all-purpose flour or the self-rising flour. Then, you use all the ingredient the converter gives you, on top of the one listed in the original recipe. The converter will make you add baking soda, vinegar even if the original recipes already have baking powder because gluten-free blend need an extra boost of raising agent to prevent dense, gummy baked goods. I hope it makes sense. Let me know if you try baking something! Carine.
Hi! Can I bake this without any sugar & salt? Making this for my 10mo!
They will probably be softer without sugar, not crispy but it should firm up as well.
Always a treat to have another zucchini recipe – love the spices.
Question: can maple syrup be used instead of either of the other sugars, and if so, how much?
Usually, swapping a crystal sweetener by a liquid sweetener makes the muffin texture gummy. I would recommend coconut sugar as a refined sugar free option that won’t impact texture of the muffins.
Can you make the batter ahead of time and freeze it?
I would bake the muffins and freeze the baked muffins. Making the batter ahead without baking immediately won’t turn out well and it’s not made to freeze.
Excellent vegan recipe. I added chocolate chips like in the picture that popped up. Also substitute pumpkin seeds for the pecans and it really complemented the flavor.
Hi can I use almond flour instead. If so how much would I use?
I haven’t managed to make this recipe work with almond flour, unfortunately.
Really good! I added a crumble topping, moist and delicious!
Hello can I use oat flour or a GF flour? Thank you
I am pretty sure a gluten free all-purpose flour would work better than oat flour. The oat flour will make the texture denser.
