Best Oatmeal Summer Squash Zucchini Muffins Recipes

ZUCCHINI BREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk together. Whisk in the shredded zucchini. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk or stir until just combined. Fold in any add-ins you want to include, if any. Avoid over-mixing. Batter is thick.
• Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
• Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C); then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce heat to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 20-21 minutes, give or take. (For mini muffins, bake 11-13 minutes at 350°F (177°C) the whole time.)
• Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling, or enjoy warm.
• Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, then transfer to the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

• Scoop the batter into 16 greased muffin pan cups, completely filling each cup.
• Bake on the middle rack 20 to 25 min. or until the muffins are golden brown and the tops of the muffins bounce back when you press on them. (Test with a bamboo skewer to make sure the centers of the muffins are done.)
• Cool the muffins for 5 min., then remove the muffins from the pan to a wire rack and let them cool another 20 min.
