- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

- 2 eggs room temperature

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, and ground allspice.
- In another bowl, mix the avocado oil, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and grated zucchini until well blended.
- Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, folding gently with a rubber spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin pan. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy warm or allow to cool completely before freezing.
