Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Zucchini Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, take a moment to prepare your 12-cup muffin pan.
Step 3
You can either grease and flour it or line it with cheerful paper liners—whichever you prefer! In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and white sugar, giving it a good stir.
Step 4
Next, add in the baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to bring out those warm flavors.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to cut in the shortening until your mixture looks like coarse crumbs, almost like sandy beach vibes! Create a little well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour in the shredded zucchini, sour milk, beaten eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract.
Step 6
Gently mix everything together until just combined, and then fold in the chopped walnuts for that delightful crunch.
Step 7
Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds to three-quarters full.
Step 8
For a sweet touch, sprinkle a little brown sugar on top—trust me, it adds a lovely caramelized finish! Pop the muffins into your preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Once they’re done, let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness to come!.
