  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 c. grated zucchini roughly 1 large zucchini

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425℉/220℃/Gas Mark 7.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar. About 3 minutes on medium speed, making sure to scrape down the bowl as needed.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and continue to beat for another minute, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. The muffin batter will seem very thick. Fold in the grated zucchini.
  • Using muffin liners, line a 12-batch muffin tin and fill each of the liners to the top. Bake for 5 minutes at 425℉/220℃/Gas Mark 7, then decrease the heat to 350℉/175℃/Gas Mark 4 and continue to bake the muffins for another 16-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool in the muffin tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Enjoy!
