Use up your garden zucchini with these moist and delicious zucchini muffins. Perfect for lunchboxes or as a grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, excess moisture squeezed out
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and any optional add-ins like walnuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh zucchini. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible after grating to prevent soggy muffins.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or gently reheat in the microwave.
  • Pack these muffins in your child’s lunchbox for a tasty and wholesome treat.
