This past summer was a great one for my backyard garden. We had a lot of decent rain which really jump started my veggie plants and kept them going all season long. I was able to harvest about 2 dozen large zucchini’s this past summer from just 3 plants! Yay!
Anyway, last weekend I decided to whip up a batch of homemade Zucchini Muffins and decided to share my recipe with all of you. This recipe will make 20-24 muffins.
Zucchini Muffins Recipe
3 medium eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups peeled & grated zucchini, seeds removed
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
In a mixing bowl beat the eggs and then slowly beat in the sugars, vegetable oil and vanilla until blended. In a separate mixing bowl sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Gradually beat the dry mixture in with the wet mixture, alternating with the grated zucchini until everything has been well-combined together.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line your muffin tin. Pour batter into each cup, filling 3/4 of the way full. Bake in a preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until done. Remove and let cool.
Note: We enjoy these muffins warm and we smother them in melted honey butter.

I have never tried a zucchini muffin. I’ll have to give these a try!
This has been a banner year for zucchini in my area also so I am always looking for new recipes. This looks delicious. I just made some zucchini bread so I am ready to move on to muffins to have in the freezer for breakfast.
My mom uses the same recipe but instead of adding vanilla extract…she adds a teaspoon or two of honey. I haven’t added honey when I make them because we melt honey butter and drizzle warm honey butter over the top.
Looks like a great recipe. I often grate my zucchini with the peel on. With these you can’t tell it’s in there.
Yum! You wouldn’t think that zucchini muffins would look or taste delicious, but I bet these are really yummy. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Wow–what a great yield of zucchini from your garden! Good for you. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I love baking with zucchini, and I’ve pinned your recipe for the next time I get my hands on some zukes.
I love using zucchini in muffins because it makes the muffins moister. I would also add some cinnamon to these muffins if I made them.
Zucchini muffins are the best and these look wonderful! I have never added vanilla extract to mine though. I can’t wait to make this recipe.
