Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

    Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. If the zucchini is very watery, place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until evenly distributed.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the shredded zucchini, and if desired, add the nuts and raisins or chocolate chips.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Using a scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy these delicious and fluffy Zucchini Sweet Roll Muffins warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack!
