Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and eggs.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and nuts (if using).
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.

  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding chocolate chips or raisins to the batter. These muffins are also delicious with a cream cheese frosting.
