- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
 
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
 
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 
- ½ tsp baking powder
 
- ½ tsp baking soda
 
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
 
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
 
- ½ cup (120 ml) neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
 
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
 
- 2 cups (about 260 g) finely-grated unpeeled zucchini, excess moisture blotted
 
		 
	 
	
		
		
			
- Preheat oven to 350 °F / 175 °C. Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
 
- In a large bowl whisk flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
 
- In a separate bowl beat eggs with oil, then stir in vanilla.
 
- Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients; stir just until combined (batter will be thick).
 
- Fold grated zucchini into the batter until evenly distributed.
 
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
 
- Bake 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
 
- Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- Add ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
 
- Store in an airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature, 1 week refrigerated, or freeze up to 3 months.
 
- For a lighter option, reduce sugar to ¾ cup and substitute ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce for part of the oil.
 
- To bake as a loaf, pour batter into a greased 9 × 5 in (23 × 13 cm) pan and bake 45–60 minutes.
