These classic zucchini muffins are delightfully moist and easy to make. Packed with shredded zucchini, they’re a perfect treat for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 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 shredded zucchini, squeezed dry

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. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini.
  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 extra moisture, ensure you squeeze as much water as possible from the shredded zucchini.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • These muffins freeze well. Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container.
