Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh zucchini. If using frozen zucchini, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
  • Grate the zucchini with the large holes of a box grater. This will help to ensure that the zucchini pieces are evenly distributed throughout the muffins.
  • Toast the walnuts before adding them to the muffins. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Walnut zucchini muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with nutrients and flavor, and they are easy to make. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
