6 zucchini muffin in a muffin tin

We have a long standing joke in our family about zucchini. It grows so prolifically in many gardens that everyone should keep their doors locked at church so they don’t end up getting gifted a bushel of zucchini!

Zucchini has so many great uses. I like it sautéed with a little butter and salt. I like to grill it and enjoy it as a great summer side dish. Adding zucchini to yellow squash, onions and tomatoes and then stir frying is great also.

So why use zucchini in muffins?

  • A few reasons why: Because there is just so much of it from the garden and you need to find a way to use it!
  • It is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables and they don’t know it.
  • It adds great flavor and moisture to muffins

How to freeze:

Absolutely! I make up a batch and then put several in a ziptop bag and put it in the freezer

When we want to enjoy a homemade muffin we pull one out of the bag and microwave it for 30 seconds and then enjoy.

How to make:

Line 24 muffin tins with paper liners

In a large mixing bowl mix together the flours, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugars

Add the eggs, vanilla and oil to the bowl and mix well until all is combined.  The batter will be a little stiff until the zucchini is added

Add the zucchini and mix well. To easily “grate” the zucchini, I place zucchini chunks in a food processor and then pulse until everything is cut into little bits.

Fill each muffin tin 2/3 full with the batter. If you fill them more than this it will take much longer to bake

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center of a muffin comes out clean

Can I make chocolate zucchini muffins?

Adding a cup of chocolate chips to the batter would be the best way to add chocolate. You could also add a cup of your favorite chopped nuts.
