Description
🥒 Moist zucchini adds hidden veggies for a nutritious boost.
🧁 Sweet and hearty, these oatmeal muffins are quick, easy, and perfect for a grab‑and‑go snack.
Ingredients
– 1 cup shredded zucchini, excess moisture squeezed out
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup quick teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin if you have one handy this keeps things neat and easy.
2-Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded zucchini, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything blends smoothly. This wet mix is where the magic begins, pulling in that fresh veggie goodness.
3-Combine the dry ingredients: Next, in another bowl, whisk the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to combine the dry ingredients perfectly.
4-Mix and bake the batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry one and stir just until combined overmixing can make your muffins tough, so keep it light. Divide the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to give them room to rise. Pop them in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes; you’ll know they’re done when a toothpick comes out clean.
5-Cool the muffins: After baking, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. This step helps them set up nicely, and before you know it, you’ll have a batch of warm, hearty muffins ready to enjoy. Y’all, this method works wonders for turning simple ingredients into a breakfast favorite that’s both quick and nutritious.
Notes
🧊 Remove as much liquid from the zucchini as possible to keep the crumb from getting soggy.
🍯 For a lower‑fat version, substitute the oil with unsweetened applesauce in equal measure.
🔪 For extra sweetness, drizzle a thin glaze of powdered sugar mixed with a splash of milk over the warm muffins.
