How To Make the best zucchini apple muffins
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. These are "regular" size muffins (not large or mini) and cooking time is based on this size muffin. Line muffin pans with paper liners. Or you cans spray pans with baking spray. Not sure it's necessary but I sprayed the paper liners. NOTE: this batch made 16 muffins

Step 3In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs and vanilla; stir in zucchini, apples and melted butter.

Step 4In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.

Step 6Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling to the rim.
