If you have ever grown zucchini (or have a friend who does), you know that it’s the gift that keeps on giving. And when you have a bumper crop of zucchini, you’ll need a stack of zucchini recipes<\/a> to use up the harvest. Baked goods like easy zucchini muffins are a fantastic way to turn this savory summer squash into a sweet treat.<\/p>\n This small-batch recipe for zucchini muffins tastes similar to zucchini bread. The moist, flavorful muffins come together in a flash and are perfect for breakfast or an anytime snack.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Coat the muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners, and set aside.<\/p>\n In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and oil. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients just until moistened.<\/p>\n Fold in the zucchini, walnuts and currants.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Stir the batter just\u00a0until combined; overmixing will lead to tough muffins.<\/p>\n Fill each muffin cup three-fourths full with batter.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Use an ice cream scoop to evenly portion the batter into the muffin cups (and to prevent a big mess!).<\/p>\n Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool for five minutes before removing the muffins from the pan to a wire rack.<\/p>\n Cool the zucchini bread muffins and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for three to four days. The sooner you eat these muffins, the tastier they will be!<\/p>\n You can freeze muffins<\/a> for up to three months. Let them cool completely, and freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Then, transfer the frozen muffins to an airtight freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy them, defrost the muffins at room temperature and pop them into a 350\u00b0 oven for a few minutes to toast them up.<\/p>\n A box grater is the most common tool to grate zucchini<\/a>. To make coarsely shredded zucchini, shred the squash along the side with the largest holes. Alternatively, you can use the grater plate of a food processor to shred even the most monstrous zucchini in seconds. If you have a ton of zucchini on hand but no time for baking, you can shred and freeze zucchini<\/a> to make zucchini bread muffins later.<\/p>\n You don’t need to peel zucchini for this zucchini muffin recipe\u2014or for any shredded zucchini recipe<\/a>. Zucchini skin is so thin that you won’t even know it’s there.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These light, fluffy zucchini muffins are packed with shredded zucchini, chopped walnuts, dried currants and warm cinnamon spice.
