Zucchini Muffins

March 9, 2014 by Kay 5 Comments

I am always looking for new zucchini recipes and this recipe for Zucchini Muffins turned out to be a favorite of mine. I always like the idea of adding vegetables into my sweet breads, muffins and desserts.

I tend to always have zucchini on hand, either fresh during the summer months or I grate and freeze zucchini to use in other months through out the year.

Zucchini Muffins are sweet but not overly sweet and it has a great mix of spices including cinnamon and nutmeg. I also added in chocolate chips because I like adding chocolate into anything.

Here is a link to a recipe for Caramel Frosting if you feel the need to add an extra element to the muffins. I love them with and without the Caramel Frosting.

Zucchini Muffins

Yield: 24 Muffins

Zucchini Muffins

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips, plus more for garnish (optional)
  • Caramel Frosting (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Mix in the oil and sugar, then add the grated zucchini and vanilla extract.
  • Combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt, as well as the chocolate chips. Stir into the egg/ oil mixture and combine well.
  • Fill the muffin cups about three-quarters of the way full. Top each muffin with mini chocolate chips. Bake muffins for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin pans for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer muffins to a cooling rack. Frost the muffins when cooled.
