- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk)

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- Prep the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini and wring out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, agave syrup, and oil until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Zucchini and Optional Mix-ins: Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend.
