We’ve been doing a lot of baking lately and the other day we made Zucchini Muffins!
This is a favorite recipe of our family…we’ve made it for YEARS! The last time I blogged it thought I was writing about having contractions with my second (who is now 9) so I thought an updated post with photos was overdue! If you’re looking for a delicious buttery warm muffin to treat your family with…this is it! My oldest, Sophia, got in the kitchen and made these. The little kids were so excited for this yummy treat from their big sister. We hope you give it a try…it will become a family favorite of yours too!

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 cups shredded zucchini (12 ounces)
Pam Baking spray or Cupcake Liners
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine eggs, oil, vanilla extract in a mixing bowl; add sugars, stirring until combined.
Add zucchini; stir until well combined.
Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda; stir just until combined.
Pour batter into muffin pans (or your pan of choice) coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 350° for 30 minutes (varies according to the type of pan you used and your oven) or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
My mom would always take her banana bread out of the pan and wrap in foil…it made it so moist! So I do the same with my muffins, once they cool, but with a zip lock bag. It traps in the moisture and makes them so soft and delicious!
My kids gobble these up. I prefer a little more salt on mine (I sprinkle a dash on when I’m having one!) but I keep the salt low in the main recipe.
If you’re in the mood for something buttery and warm try this Zucchini Muffin Recipe!
