Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar if adding topping use 1/3
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 cups zucchini grated, patted dry
  • 1 cup apple cored, peeled, diced

Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel and dice apples and shred zucchini over paper towels (then fold over and gently press down to remove most of moisture).
  • Whisk together all wet ingredients. In another bowl mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and baking soda.
  • Slowly incorporate flour mixture into egg mix. Fold in shredded zucchini and diced apples now. If you wanted to add some finely chopped nuts inside you could do that now too.
  • Spoon into muffin pan that have muffin liners or have been sprayed with non stick spray. Fill 3/4 of the way full.
  • If adding streusel topping mix those ingredients in a bowl and sprinkle on top.
  • Bake for approx. 18-22 minutes or until top springs back when gently touched in the middle, or a toothpick comes out mostly clean with crumbs on it.
