Instructions
Preheat oven to 375° F. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick baking spray or line with paper-liners.
Shred the zucchini and the carrot using a grater or pulse in a food processor. Zucchini has a lot of excess water you’ll need to squeeze out using a nut milk bag or thin dish towel. Place the shredded veggies in a bowl and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl mix together the coconut, flour, sugars, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine the applesauce, eggs, oil and vanilla into the flour mixture and then fold in the carrot and zucchini. Gently mix just until combined.
Fill the prepared muffin tin with the batter until two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool for 5 and then enjoy.
