Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful muffin, use freshly grated zucchini. If you don't have a grater, you can finely chop the zucchini in a food processor.
  • Be sure to squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent the muffins from being too wet.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Over-mixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Zucchini spice muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a special treat, serve zucchini spice muffins with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

Conclusion:

Zucchini spice muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With their moist texture, flavorful spices, and hint of sweetness, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
