Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cup brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Optional Additions
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners. Lightly grease paper liners with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together 1/4 cup salted butter and 1 1/2 cup brown sugar for about 1 minute, until smooth. Then add in 2 cups grated zucchini and blend for an additional minute.
- Beat in 2 large eggs until combined. Then add in 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix briefly until just combined.
- Add in 1 cup of flour and mix until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Then add in the remaining 1 cup flour until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts, if using.
- Divide the batter equally amongst the 12 muffins, filling almost to the top of the muffin tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven 450℉ oven for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350℉ and continue baking another 15-17 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
