Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups zucchini, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or dried cranberries
- 0.25 cups milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the cranberries and fold them into the batter evenly.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
