Description

Moist and flavorful muffins made with ripe bananas and grated zucchini.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium), squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and any optional nuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure you squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to prevent soggy muffins.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of ground ginger to the dry ingredients.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store them in an airtight container once completely cooled.
