Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded zucchini (well-drained)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
Instructions
- Prepare Zucchini: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with liners. Shred zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a towel. Set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mash bananas. Add sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Combine: Add dry ingredients to wet mixture gradually, stirring until just combined. Fold in the shredded zucchini.
- Bake: Divide batter among muffin cups (fill about 3/4 full). Bake for 22–26 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- Do not skip draining the zucchini—excess moisture can cause soggy muffins.
- These muffins freeze well. Store in an airtight container and thaw before serving.
- For a more indulgent treat, add a sprinkle of brown sugar or oats on top before baking.
