My famous organic zucchini muffins..

Here is an early Christmas gift....so many people have asked me for this recipe and I'm thinking why not share it with everyone.It is the season of giving and I know that quite a few of you are dying to have this recipe. So Merry Christmas and please make lots and share with your loved ones.

I've been experimenting with muffins and have settled on this one.These zucchini muffins are insanely good and insanely easy to make. No mixer, wooden spoon only, and two bowls, though you could really even make the batter in one bowl.Very moist.Just sweet enough.

Organic Zucchini Muffins

Ingredients

3 cups grated fresh zucchini
2/3 cup melted unsalted butter (organic)
1/2 cup organic cane sugar
2 organic eggs,(beaten)
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons baking soda
Pinch sea salt
3 cups all-purpose organic flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup walnuts (optional)
1 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Method

You don't need a mixer for this recipe.

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl combine the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini and then the melted butter. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the zucchini mixture and mix in.

2.In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir these dry ingredients into the zucchini mixture. Stir in walnuts, raisins or cranberries if using.

3. Coat each muffin cup in your muffin pan with a little olive oil. Use a spoon to distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups, filling the cups up completely. Bake on the middle rack until muffins are golden brown, and the top of the muffins bounce back when you press on them, about 25 to 30 minutes.

4.Test with a long toothpick or a thin bamboo skewer to make sure the center of the muffins are done. Set on wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from the tin let cool another 20 minutes.

Note; if you are including walnuts and dried fruit, you will likely have more batter than is needed for 12 muffins. I got about 14 muffins from this batch, and that included filling the muffin cups up as far as they could possibly go (above the surface of the muffin tin).

There you go the best tasting muffins in town and they are all yours....enjoy!!!
