BEST EVER ZUCCHINI MUFFINS



Best Ever Zucchini Muffins image

I got this recipe from my friend, who is a Health and Wellness teacher. They are super healthy and taste even better! Really easy to make too! :) You could also add nuts, or leave out the raisins. You could even substitute the zucchini with carrots! To preserve the nutrients, cool the muffins than freeze them immediately until you want to eat them. You can thaw them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they taste fresh from the oven!

Tips:

  • For a moist and tender muffin, use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and extra fiber.
  • Grate the zucchini finely so that it evenly distributes throughout the batter. This will also help to prevent the muffins from becoming too dense.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting or storing. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and the muffins from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These zucchini muffins are a delicious and healthy way to use up fresh zucchini. They are moist, tender, and full of flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect zucchini muffins every time. These muffins are also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. They are so delicious that they won't even realize they are eating zucchini!
