- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Zucchini, grated

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each well about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
