Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Zucchini Muffins

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a muffin pan by greasing or lining it with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for about 1 minute.
In a larger bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth, then fold in the grated zucchini.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
Fill the muffin cups to the top with batter.
Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then lower to 350°F (175°C) for an additional 15-17 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
