How to Make Spicy Zucchini Cakettes Vegan Friendly

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the zucchini until smooth. Add the maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, and plant-based milk. Mix well.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons (about 1.5 inches in diameter) of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cakette.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakettes cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
