Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 cups Grated zucchini
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper muffin liners or lightly grease the tin.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth, then stir in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
