Best Ever Zucchini Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/3 c. sugar
2 eggs
2/3 c. butter, melted (plus 1 Tbl. for later)
2 tsp. vanilla
zest from 1-2 lemons
3 c. grated un-peeled zucchini

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside. In a separate bowl, beat together sugar and eggs until creamy. Add the 2/3 cup melted butter, vanilla and lemon zest and mix well. Add the shredded zucchini and mix to combine. Last, add the dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Batter will be very thick. Melt one Tablespoon butter and using a pastry brush, brush all over the muffin cups. Do this instead of using cooking spray. Distribute batter evenly between greased muffin cups, filling completely full. Bake at 350 degrees for 21-23 minutes for regular muffins or 30-32 minutes for jumbo muffins. Muffins will be browned and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean.
