Muffin Recipes Of Great Flavor

I always enjoy the smell of muffins baking. Below are some fun muffin recipes.

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

makes twenty-four small muffins

This is a great breakfast treat that uses staples you should generally have on hand like flour, oats, and yogurt. The yogurt and zucchini make these muffins super moist and yummy, but still a reasonably nutritious (if slightly sugary) choice for breakfast.

Make these in mid-summer, during the height of zucchini season, when larger zucchini are really cheap. Big zucchini are generally a bit woodier, but they’re still great for baking.

Ingredients

• 2 cups grated zucchini

5. Mix the zucchini, eggs, and yogurt in a larger bowl. Add the dry ingredients, then mix until everything is just combined. Add the chocolate chips if you’re using them, then stir once.
6. With a spoon, dollop the batter into the muffin tins until each cup is about 3⁄4 full and bake for 20 minutes.
7. Pull the muffins out and poke with a toothpick or knife. If it comes out wet, bake the muffins for 5 more minutes.
