- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Squeeze the grated zucchini well to remove excess moisture. This prevents soggy muffins.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
