Ingredients

• 1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1 tsp baking soda
  
  

• ½ tsp salt
  
  

• 1–2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for warm spice)
  
  

• ½ cup vegetable oil (or neutral-flavored oil)
  
  

• ½ cup granulated sugar
  
  

• ½ cup packed light brown sugar (for enhanced moisture)
  
  

• 2 large eggs
  
  

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• 1½ cups shredded zucchini (well-drained)
  
  

• Optional: ½ cup mix-ins (e.g., walnuts, raisins, chocolate chips)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat & Prep
   Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
   
   

2. Dry Ingredients
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
   
   

3. Wet Ingredients
   In another bowl, whisk together the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
   
   

4. Combine
   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.
   
   

5. Add Zucchini
   Fold in the shredded zucchini (and mix-ins, if using) until evenly distributed.
   
   

6. Fill & Bake
   Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds to three-quarters full. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
   
   

7. Cool
   Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
