Categories     Quick Breads

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups flour
1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup zucchini, finely grated

Steps:

  • Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Using two knives, a pastry blender, stand mixture or your fingers, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1/2 cup of this mixture for topping. Stir in baking powder and salt into remaining mixture.
  • Beat eggs, milk and zucchini in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients all at once, stirring just until moistened.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle topping evenly over batter; pat down gently.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched.

Tips:

  • To ensure moist and flavorful muffins, use fresh zucchini grated with the skin on. This adds moisture, nutrients, and a subtle sweetness.
  • For a more intense pumpkin spice flavor, use a combination of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Adjust the amounts to suit your preference.
  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  • For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
  • To make gluten-free muffins, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. You may need to adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe.
  • For a vegan version, use flax eggs instead of regular eggs. To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spice zucchini muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and warm spices, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
