Zucchini Bread Muffins
Description
These muffins start by mixing dry ingredients including flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Wet ingredients—eggs, oil, and vanilla—are combined separately and then stirred into the dry mix until just combined, keeping the batter thick and slightly dry. Grated unpeeled zucchini is folded in, adding moisture without excess wetness.
Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-22 minutes yields muffins with a tender crumb and mild spice. The grated zucchini contributes subtle moisture and texture, preventing dryness. The muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for several days or frozen for longer storage.
A simple flavor variation is to add chocolate chips for extra sweetness and texture. These muffins reheat well briefly in a microwave, best served with butter.
