Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined.
- Stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract into the egg mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the cooled muffins.
Notes
- Ensure your zucchini is well-drained after grating to prevent soggy muffins.
- You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
