Ingredients

2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger powder
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 medium zucchini shredded (about 2 cups)
2 large eggs lightly beaten
¾ cups brown sugar
¾ cup sour cream
¼ cup butter melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoon turbinado sugar for topping, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare 12 cupcake pan with liners or grease.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger powder, and nutmeg in a bowl and stir until incorporated. Set aside.
Combine zucchini, eggs, brown sugar, sour cream, butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir until combined. The mixture will be wet.
Slowly add flour mixture to wet mixture. The mixture will be thick.
Add mixture into cupcake pan, about ⅓ cup of batter per cupcake. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the cupcakes.
Bake in preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until muffins are golden and a toothpick entered in the center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to complete cooling. Serve and enjoy :)

Notes

Add in some chocolate chips to make chocolate zucchini muffins.
Take care not to over mix the batter. Everything should be just combined.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to complete cooling.
Turbinado sugar is also known as “Sugar in the Raw” and can be found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. It gives a slight crunch to the top of the muffins.
Optional: Set aside a bit of Zucchini for sprinkling on top.
