Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare muffin tins by either lining with cupcake liners or spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Whisk together the eggs, oil, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Then stir in the shredded zucchini.
Slowly stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Stir until just combined, DO NOT overmix your batter (a few lumps are ok!).
Divide batter between 12 standard sized muffin tins, filling the tins about â…” full.
Before putting the muffins into the oven, add a sprinkle of turbinado sugar on top of each muffin if desired. This adds a nice texture and a little more sweetness to your muffins.
Bake muffins for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (ok to have a few crumbs).
Allow muffins to cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes and then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these muffins warm or cold. Option to slather with butter, or whatever other topping you may enjoy!
