Zucchini Harvested, Now Making Muffins - by Sunscape

The Zucchini plants in the garden have gotten so large that I sometimes miss seeing the Zucchini until it is too large. lol

I ended up cutting out the pulp and seeds before shredding the Zucchini.

I always sift all the dry ingredients for a recipe before adding the flour to the wet ingredients. I shred the zucchini and the carrots with a salad shooter to save time instead of by hand. Once that is done, I add it to the egg and oil mixture.

Once everything is blended well, I add the flour until well combined.

I had so much Zucchini that I double the recipe.

After cooling on the rack for a few minutes, I remove the muffins from the silicone cups.

The muffins came out so nice and moist and rose perfectly. I ended up with 4 dozen muffins which I froze most of them and of course, shared some with the neighbors to their delight.
