Description

I know, I know, another zucchini muffin recipe! But this time of year, what’s a gardener to do? These muffins aren’t overly sweet and they will use of some of that squash you have piled on every surface!!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING:
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons Rolled Oats
  • 2 Tablespoons Unbleached All-purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • _____
  • FOR THE MUFFINS:
  • ⅓ cups Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Unbleached All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1-½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 cups Packed Grated Zucchini
  • ⅔ cups Buttermilk
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ½ cups Butter, Melted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine streusel ingredients in a small bowl and stir until well mixed. Set aside.

For the muffins: Stir together all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Fold in the grated zucchini and mix until it is well coated with the dry ingredients.

In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter. Fold into dry ingredients stirring just until combined.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups and top with struesel topping.

I was looking for a recipe low in sugar for my 15 month old son. He seemed to enjoy the ones that I made without the streusel topping. I added raisins for a little natural sweetness.

Just made these with 2 small changes: I made an oatmeal streusel topping and added an extra 1/2 tsp. vanilla.
They are a little bland but I think if you added too many other flavors, the blackberriness could be masked which would be a shame ! I will make them again. Careful not to over bake.

Although I loved the topping, the muffin was really bland. Maybe needs more sugar, or some honey? I really enjoyed the topping though.
