Are Zucchini Muffins Vegan?
No, an authentic zucchini muffin recipe contains eggs, butter, and sometimes added milk or milk from the added chocolate chips. Therefore, it’s not vegan-friendly, but it’s pretty easy to twist the authentic recipe to make your homemade vegan zucchini muffins at home.
Ingredients and Substitutions
No need for flax eggs or ground flaxseeds here, only basic pantry plant-based ingredients that we all have at home for a quick muffin fix!

These muffins have a similar flavor to my popular vegan zucchini bread recipe, 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.
Allergy Swaps
You can use this recipe using some alternatives to fit any food allergies you may have.
Gluten-Free – Replace flour with all-purpose gluten-free flour containing added gums. The recipe won’t work with almond flour or coconut flour. Nut-Free – Replace the chopped pecans with more chocolate chips or seeds. Hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, or coconut flakes taste good in these vegan zucchini muffins. Sugar-Free – Replace the sugar with erythritol or xylitol.
