Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup whole-wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups white sugar
1 cup coconut oil
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.
  • Sift all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
  • Beat sugar, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 4 minutes; fold in zucchini and walnuts. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture until batter is well mixed. Fill prepared muffin cups with batter about half full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 15 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Beat cream cheese and butter together with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Gradually beat confectioners' sugar into cheese mixture until frosting is light and fluffy. Spread frosting over completely cooled cupcakes.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cupcakes turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made these cupcakes several times and they're always a hit. They're moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not a fan of cream cheese frosting, so I made these cupcakes with a chocolate frosting instead. They were delicious!

These cupcakes were good, but I think they would have been better with a different frosting.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good! The zucchini flavor was subtle and the cupcakes were very moist.
