All About the Zucchini

Zucchini fans, this recipe is totally for your! For this recipe, you’re going to need 1 cup of coarsely grated zucchini.

I bolded coarsely for a reason ^^ and that’s because I love seeing little green specks of zucchini in the muffins once they come out of the oven. If you grate your zucchini finely, they’ll blend right in!

One Bowl + Easy Clean Up

What I love about this recipe is that it only takes 1 bowl. That means, there’s a much easier clean up to be had at the end of mixing!

1. Place dry ingredients into the bowl and mix to combine.
2. Next, add wet ingredients (minus the coconut oil) and mix again.
3. Finally, add melted coconut oil and mix again.
4. Transfer batter into muffin tin, filling each one about 3/4 of the way full.
5. Bake at 350ºF for 18-24 minutes.

3 Muffin Baking Tips

Don’t Over Mix

Our #1 baking tip with any muffin recipe is DO NOT OVER MIX!

If you over mix your batter you risk over-whipping the eggs. This removes the air that helps the muffins rise and become super fluffy.

Toothpick Test

Use a toothpick to check if the center of your muffins are fully cooked. Simply stick a toothpick halfway in. If it comes out clean you know they’re done!

Let Muffins Cool

I’ve made this mistake time and time again. Let your muffins cool for 5-10 minutes before trying to remove them from the muffin tin. If you remove them too soon, your muffins might fall apart!

Muffin Accessories

I can’t begin to tell you how much of a difference a new, nonstick muffin tin makes when baking muffins! There is seriously nothing worse than having an entire batch of muffins stick to the pan. RUINED!

Below we are sharing some of our baking must-have accessories for you to stock your kitchen with to make baking a breeze.

Storage

Let your zucchini muffins cool completely on a cooling rack. Then, transfer them into an airtight container or gallon-size plastic bag and store them on the countertop for up to 2-3 days OR in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.

Freezer Instructions

Let zucchini muffins cool completely and then wrap them in a piece of tin foil. Remove as much air as possible and then place into the freezer for up to 3 months.

You can wrap 2 together or all 12, it’s all up to you! You can also store them in a freezer-safe gallon-size bag for additional freezer protection.
