Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour (or mix of both)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (67g) packed light or dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons (30ml) milk (dairy or non dairy)
1 and 3/4 cups (about 190g) shredded zucchini (no need to blot)
optional: 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped nuts, raisins, etc)
optional: coarse sugar, for sprinkling on top

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk together. Whisk in the shredded zucchini. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk or stir until just combined. Fold in any add-ins you want to include, if any. Avoid over-mixing. Batter is thick.
  • Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.

ZUCCHINI MUFFINS WITH CINNAMON CRUNCH TOPPING



Zucchini Muffins With Cinnamon Crunch Topping image

A touch of honey complements the nutty flavor of the whole-wheat flour in these muffins. The zucchini and applesauce provide moisture and flavor, and the crunchy cinnamon topping makes for the perfect textural contrast against the soft cake. These muffins are a great addition to your morning cup of coffee. Store them on the counter, uncovered, to help preserve their crunchy coating. They also freeze well and can be reheated in a low-temperature oven or thawed at room temperature.

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons/30 grams unsalted butter, softened, plus 1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter, melted
2 medium zucchini (about 1 pound)
1 cup/120 grams plus 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 cups/160 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup/160 milliliters whole milk, at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
2 eggs, beaten, at room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup/65 grams turbinado sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Using 1 tablespoon softened butter, generously butter the cups and the top of a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside.
  • Cut the tips off the zucchini and grate the zucchini into shreds on a box grater. Pile the zucchini onto a clean dish towel and squeeze tightly over the sink to remove any excess water. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift 1 cup whole-wheat flour with the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt, then whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • To a medium bowl, add the melted butter, milk, applesauce, honey, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla, and whisk to combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid inside. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold everything together, being careful not to overmix. Just before completely combined, sprinkle the zucchini over the top, breaking up any clumps with your hands, and finish folding the batter until combined. Using a spoon or scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. (It should come to the top of each cup).
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour with the turbinado sugar and cinnamon. Using your fingers, work in the remaining 1 tablespoon softened butter until everything is evenly moist. Sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the muffins, then carefully brush away any crumbs that spill onto the top of the muffin tin. Bake the muffins, rotating halfway through, until the tops form firm domes, the sugar topping caramelizes and the muffins are cooked through, 24 to 26 minutes. (The tops should spring back when lightly pressed.) Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before using a small offset spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool for at least another 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 ½ cups shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
¼ cup chopped roasted red pepper
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornmeal
½ cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 eggs
½ cup light sour cream
½ cup milk
¾ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 16 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and remove from heat; transfer to a food processor. Add the zucchini and roasted red pepper to the tomato mixture; pulse the mixture several times until finely chopped.
  • Stir the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano together in a bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy using an electric mixer; beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the sour cream, milk, hot pepper sauce, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Stir half the flour mixture into the butter mixture until almost incorporated; add the rest of the flour mixture and stir a few times just to mix. Stir in the zucchini mixture. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups until nearly full. Sprinkle each muffin cup with about 1 teaspoon of shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired.
  • Bake the muffins in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Zucchini: Select medium-sized zucchini that are fresh and tender, as they will yield the best results in terms of flavor and texture.
  • Prepare the Zucchini Properly: Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. This will help release excess moisture and prevent the muffins from becoming too dense.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh dill adds a vibrant, aromatic flavor to these muffins. If you don't have fresh dill on hand, you can substitute dried dill, but use only half the amount.
  • Fill the Muffin Cups Properly: Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full to allow for expansion during baking.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

These dill zucchini muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack. They are moist, flavorful, and packed with nutritious ingredients like zucchini, carrots, and oats. With their combination of sweet and savory flavors, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have a surplus of zucchini, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
