One Bowl Zucchini Muffins

These muffins incorporate shredded zucchini into a fragrant batter with cinnamon, nutmeg, and optionally cloves. The melted butter and sugar create a moist texture while the combination of warming spices adds subtle depth. Baked until golden brown, they offer a tender crumb with gentle spice, making them a fitting snack or breakfast option when you want a vegetable boost with sweet warmth.

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.

  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray muffin pan cups with non-stick cooking spray or line with liner cups.  Set aside.
