Ingredients

2 1/3 cups grated zucchini
1 1/2 over-ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup applesauce
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins or line cups with paper liners.
2 Combine zucchini, mashed bananas, applesauce, brown sugar, oil, lemon juice, and vanilla in a large bowl; mix well. Set aside.
3 Whisk flour, baking soda, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, and cloves together in a separate bowl until well combined; slowly stir into zucchini mixture until batter is just combined. Spoon batter into the prepared cups, filling each ¾ full.
4 Combine white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over batter.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
