Perfect Zucchini Muffins

Zucchini muffins are a season spanning treat that combines summer zucchini with toasted walnuts and a hint of cinnamon ~ they’re soft, moist, and yummy.

These easy one bowl muffins share DNA with rich, moist zucchini bread, so you know they’re going to be good. They’re packed with zucchini, which gives them a distinct personality that’s hard to define, because, as we all know, zucchini doesn’t have much ‘flavor’ per se. But whatever that mysterious something is that zucchini adds to these muffins, I love it. I think the toasted walnuts add tons of extra character, too, so don’t leave them out.
