How to make zucchini muffins

You will need around 1 or 2 medium sized zucchini for this recipe.

Start by grating your zucchini.

Should I peel zucchini for muffins?

There is no need to peel zucchini, just give it a good wash and you are good to go!

The zucchini will just melt into the muffins.

Mix the wet ingredients in a bowl: zucchini, sugar, applesauce, vanilla extract, and eggs.

In another bowl, whisk your flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined.

What kind of muffin liners should I use?

I always suggest using parchment paper liners, if you have them.

The muffins never stick at all to them!

If you don’t have those, just spray regular muffin liners with cooking spray before adding the batter.

Bake the zucchini muffins until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Do zucchini muffins need to be refrigerated?

If you do not eat them within 3 days, it’s best to refrigerate the muffins.

My favorite way to eat these is warm with a bit of butter smeared on top.

So yummy!
