Good Food, Good Life, 365 – Zucchini Muffins

 Zucchini Muffins

2 eggs
2/3 cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups grated peeled zucchini
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Line muffin tin with paper baking cups.

Whisk eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add oil and vanilla and whisk to blend. Add sugar. Beat with whisk. Stir in zucchini. Put flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a sifter. Sift directly into the mixing bowl. Use a spoon to stir until dry mixture disappears into the batter.

Spoon batter into baking cups, filling almost to the top. Bake in preheated 400-degree oven for 18-20 minutes, or until done. Makes at least a dozen muffins, depending on size.

Sue’s Tips
Don’t be alarmed to see flat-top muffins come out of the oven. They will cool and become a little crispy on top and totally delicious.
These muffins freeze well.

Bake some of the batter and store some in the refrigerator for instant breakfast muffins.
