This summer our zucchini plants have done really well. I struggle with figuring out new ways to serve it. Please share with me all your zucchini recipes!

I'm usually more of a fan of turning it into a sweet treat, which is how these muffins came about.

Zucchini cake and zucchini bread are the other ways I've incorporated the veggie into a sweet dessert.

HOW TO MAKE EASY ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

The hardest part about these muffins is shredding the zucchini. Once that's done, it takes just a few minutes to mix together the batter.
I find that the easiest way to shred the zucchini is with a food processor with the grater blade attached. I always grate extra and throw it in the freezer for later use.

You can always use a regular old cheese grater if needed, but it will take more effort.

Chop off the ends and grate the zucchini including the skin. Set aside the zucchini - we'll add it to the batter later.

In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, oil and sugar.

Next add the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, spices and vanilla. Mix just until incorporated.

Next, using a wooden spoon, stir in the zucchini and nuts (if desired).

Place muffin liners in muffin tin. Spray with cooking spray. Fill each cup about 2/3 full.

Sprinkle a little sugar over the top of each muffin.

Bake at 375 for 18-19 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
