Zucchini Spice Muffins
Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1/4 cup sour milk
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
1
Heat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Prepare a baking vessel by coating it with non-stick spray and lining the 12-cup muffin pan with parchment paper.
3
Combine dry ingredients such as flour and sugar in a large container. Add baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt to the mixture and blend until well combined. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to incorporate shortening into the dry ingredients, resulting in a mixture that resembles coarse fragments.
4
Create a depression in the center of the bowl and pour in zucchini, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined, then gently fold in chopped walnuts.
5
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 to 3/4 full. Sprinkle a small amount of brown sugar on top of each muffin.
6
Place the muffins in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, taking around 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool.
