These small batch zucchini muffins are the perfect way to use up some of that summer zucchini. This small batch recipe makes exactly six muffins which is perfect to get you through a few mornings of breakfast.
Is there anything more summer than zucchini? I am not a gardener, and certainly never have mountains of zucchini piling up in my home, but it is something that I like to enjoy seasonally each year. I also happen to be very passionate about muffins. They're one of my favorite foods to eat before a morning run, and I think they just personally get my day going in the right direction. If you too are a lover of all things muffins and zucchini, this recipe is for you.
Small Batch Zucchini Muffins:
This small batch recipe makes exactly six muffins. It's perfect for single people or college students who want to bake, but don't necessarily want to make an entire dozen, and don't want to be eating the same thing all week long. These muffins come together with staple pantry ingredients, but do have a few key things like zucchini of course, and chocolate chips if desired. I happen to always desire.
Health Benefits of Zucchini:
While I won't pretend these muffins are a health food, there are many health benefits to eating zucchini, which may make you want to add it into your diet when possible. Zucchini is proven to be a good source of a variety of vitamins and minerals, it's high in antioxidants, boost heart health, and strengthen your vision!
Kitchen Tools for Zucchini Muffins:
While you'll need basic kitchen tools such as bowls, measuring cups, and a whisk, there are a few key things you'll need to make these muffins as well:
You can certainly use a 12-count muffin tin if you already have that, and just fill it half way. I know a lot of people love using silicone muffin liners but I personally feel like they alter the cook times and texture of baked goods, so I choose to use paper liners instead.
Do You Need To Dry Out The Zucchini?
Many Zucchini recipes call for blotting out the zucchini by pressing the shredded bits between paper towels to remove the excess liquid. You do not need to do that for this recipe, as the recipe takes into account the moisture for the zucchini. This recipe is great for beginner cooks as it really saves you the trouble and hassle that typically comes with other zucchini muffin recipes.
