Zucchini Muffins

Wow! I haven't posted in a long time.. but this doesn't mean I haven't been cooking. I'll often post pics of my food on Instagram or Twitter. You can follow me on both @TheCleverCook.




I'm so happy these muffins were a hit at work. This post is for you guys!

Don't cringe cuz there's something green in a muffin! You'll love them and won't even taste anything green- Promise!

Ingredients
  • 3 cups Zucchini, grated
  • 2/3 cup Butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Almond extract
  • 3 cups Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger powder

Here we go:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 C. Have 2 medium-large bowls ready.
  2. In one bowl, place the zucchini, butter, sugar and mix. Then add the eggs and almond extract, mix well.
  3. In the other bowl, add in the remaining 5 dry ingredients and mix well.
  4. Begin adding about a cup or so at a time of the dry mix into the wet mix until well blended.
  5. Once everything is mixed in, go ahead and start filling up your muffin pan. Should be ready in about 40-50 minutes when they're nice and golden.                                          

This recipe will yield about 12-14 muffins depending on how full you fill them up. Enjoy!
