ZUCCHINI MUFFINS



Zucchini Muffins image

SHERYL: _The first time Wyatt had one of Chuck's zucchini muffins it was as if he'd died and gone to muffin heaven. I was thrilled, of course, because I knew he was actually eating zucchini without the fuss factor. Now, the first thing out of his mouth every morning is, "I want a keenie muffin!" Being the creature of habit that he is, I believe he would start every day with one of Chuck's muffins, and the nice thing about it is that Mommy can make them, too!_

  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until light and smooth. Stir in the butterscotch chips with a wooden spoon, then quickly stir in the flour mixture until moistened.

  • Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes . Gently tip each muffin to the side to make sure it isn't stuck. If it is, gently rock it back and forth to release it. Remove the muffins from the pan an cool them for 5 minutes more on the rack before serving. If storing or freezing, cool them completely before sealing in an airtight container or freezer safe plastic bags. The muffins will stay fresh for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 2 months in the freezer.

ZUCCHINI MUFFINS WITH CINNAMON CRUNCH TOPPING



Zucchini Muffins With Cinnamon Crunch Topping image

A touch of honey complements the nutty flavor of the whole-wheat flour in these muffins. The zucchini and applesauce provide moisture and flavor, and the crunchy cinnamon topping makes for the perfect textural contrast against the soft cake. These muffins are a great addition to your morning cup of coffee. Store them on the counter, uncovered, to help preserve their crunchy coating. They also freeze well and can be reheated in a low-temperature oven or thawed at room temperature.

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons/30 grams unsalted butter, softened, plus 1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter, melted
2 medium zucchini (about 1 pound)
1 cup/120 grams plus 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 cups/160 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup/160 milliliters whole milk, at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
2 eggs, beaten, at room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup/65 grams turbinado sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Using 1 tablespoon softened butter, generously butter the cups and the top of a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside.
  • Cut the tips off the zucchini and grate the zucchini into shreds on a box grater. Pile the zucchini onto a clean dish towel and squeeze tightly over the sink to remove any excess water. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift 1 cup whole-wheat flour with the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt, then whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • To a medium bowl, add the melted butter, milk, applesauce, honey, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla, and whisk to combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid inside. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold everything together, being careful not to overmix. Just before completely combined, sprinkle the zucchini over the top, breaking up any clumps with your hands, and finish folding the batter until combined. Using a spoon or scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. (It should come to the top of each cup).
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour with the turbinado sugar and cinnamon. Using your fingers, work in the remaining 1 tablespoon softened butter until everything is evenly moist. Sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the muffins, then carefully brush away any crumbs that spill onto the top of the muffin tin. Bake the muffins, rotating halfway through, until the tops form firm domes, the sugar topping caramelizes and the muffins are cooked through, 24 to 26 minutes. (The tops should spring back when lightly pressed.) Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before using a small offset spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool for at least another 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a moist and tender muffin, use freshly grated zucchini. Grating the zucchini helps release its moisture, which contributes to the muffin's texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix the batter until just combined.
  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter muffin. Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins.
  • For a crunchy topping, sprinkle the muffins with chopped nuts or streusel before baking.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch zucchini muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. These muffins are moist and tender, with a sweet and slightly tangy flavor. The butterscotch chips add a touch of richness and sweetness, while the zucchini adds moisture and nutrients. These muffins are also a great way to use up leftover zucchini.
