Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups of zucchini, grated
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs, zucchini, and vanilla extract until everything is combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Once everything is combined, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until everything is just combined.
4. Fold in the walnuts (if using).
5. Divide the batter among the 12 cups of the muffin tin and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the minis to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
6. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
