One Bowl Zucchini Muffins
Description
One Bowl Zucchini Muffins combine shredded zucchini with a blend of melted butter, sugar, and vanilla to produce a moist batter. The flour, baking soda, and spices including cinnamon and nutmeg contribute to a tender texture with gentle spice notes. The batter is stirred just until combined to avoid overmixing, preserving the muffins' softness.
Baked at 350°F until golden brown with a toothpick test confirming doneness, the muffins develop a slightly crisp exterior and soft interior. Optional ground cloves add a hint of aromatic spice when desired. The grated zucchini adds moisture without overpowering sweetness, and peeling is optional depending on texture preference.
These muffins make a convenient and flavorful snack or breakfast item. Cooling on a wire rack prevents sogginess and helps maintain the proper crumb structure. Their mildly spiced, tender quality pairs well with coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups zucchini peel first if desired, grated, fresh
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- ground cloves optional, pinch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray muffin pan cups with non-stick cooking spray or line with liner cups. Set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add melted butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla and stir to combine thoroughly. Stir in grated zucchini.
- Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves (if using). Stir until JUST combined, being careful not to over mix. Just stir until there are no streaks of flour remaining.
- Scoop batter into prepared muffin pan, filling the cups almost to the top. Bake about 20-23 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs on it.
- Let muffins cool in the pan a few minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to continue cooling.
