Tender vegan zucchini muffins make a great snack, and a welcome change-of-pace from sandwiches for school lunches.

This recipe makes use of one of my favorite baking tricks — applesauce. Not only does this reduce the need for sugar, but also replaces most of the fat usually added to baked goods. Yet even without much added fat (in this case, a small amount of safflower oil) the result is a tender crumb.
