Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Grated zucchini
- 1 1/2 cups
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup
- Eggs
- 2, large
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon
- Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon

- Ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
Tips
- For added flavor, try incorporating chocolate chips or dried cranberries into the batter.
- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, increase the sugar to 1 cup.
- These muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container.
