How To Make zucchini muffins

• Step 1

  NOTES For accurate measuring always scoop the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon. Then level it off with a table knife pushing the excess back off into the flour canister. Use paper baking cups. I personally like the unbleached chlorine free ones. Finely grate the zucchini so the muffins are speckled with fine bits of zucchini in every bite. For a change of pace substitute walnuts or pistachios for the pecans. Do not overmix the batter as it can make the muffins tough or gummy. Mix with a spoon just until incorporated. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds for that fresh from the oven baked experience. Freeze in a heavy duty freezer bag or sturdy container for up 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
