When preparing your Zucchini Surprise Muffins, the first crucial step is to blend the wet ingredients properly. You’ll typically start with ingredients like eggs, oil, and any sweeteners you choose, like honey or maple syrup. The goal is to create a smooth, cohesive mixture. Aim for a consistency that is slightly thick but still pourable. If you’re using eggs, ensure they are well beaten before combining them with the oil and sweeteners. This will help emulsify the mixture, resulting in a moist and fluffy muffin. If your mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk or your preferred non-dairy alternative to loosen it up slightly.

Ingredients
  

1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.

    Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Squeeze it with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will help the muffins bake properly.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In another mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

          Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Add Zucchini and Extras: Fold in the grated zucchini, walnuts, and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.

              Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
