Zucchini Muffin Recipe
This Zucchini Muffin Recipe is my favorite recipe to use up some extra zucchini. This summer my zucchinis really grew a lot and they grew big. So I have a lot to use up so I made these muffins yesterday and a zucchini bread as well. This recipe can either make 2 loafs or 24 muffins so I made one loaf and 12 muffins.
I still had lots of zucchini left over and I still have more growing so I’m freezing it. I shred the zucchini up in my blender and then put 2 cups in a bag and seal it with a vacuum sealer. So then whenever I want to make this Zucchini Muffin Recipe I have the zucchini already shredded up in the right portion needed to make this recipe. I also will freeze the zucchini diced up for stir fry, I will spiral some up and freeze to make zucchini spaghetti, some I will cut in half length ways and scoop the seeds out and freeze that way to make lasagna boats or pizza boats. Oh and I will also shred some up small to make zucchini pizza crust. It’s great is you are on a keto diet or if you just want to cut out some carbs. I will need to go on a diet this fall after eating so much BBQ’d and smoked foods! I’m actually smoking a pork tenderloin right now for tonight’s supper, half of it I will make into pulled pork burgers for my daughter and I and the other half I will just slice for my husband and son because they are not fans of pulled pork, if you can believe that! Anyways I have gotten off topic, I will make a post of my smoked pork tenderloin in a few days.
Back the this Zucchini Muffin Recipe…it’s easy to make and very delicious. You do not have to add the walnuts, sometimes I do and sometimes I do not. I like it both ways. Before you add the zucchini your batter is going to seem really thick but don’t worry because once you start folding in the zucchini the moisture from the zucchini will thin it out some.
