I know a lot of people have gardens that explode with zucchini all at the same time in the summer, and I figured I needed a great recipe to use up the ones hanging around in the fridge. These muffins are exactly that: soft, well-spiced, and a great way to clear out the garden without breaking a sweat. By the way, zucchini is the English word and courgette is the French one, so no matter what you call it at home, it’s the same vegetable.<\/p>\n
The technique here is the classic one for a beautiful exploding muffin top: start baking at 425 \u00b0F to make the batter rise all at once, then drop to 350 \u00b0F to cook the centre without burning the top. I divided my batter into 12 for standard-size muffins, but you can fill only 8 or 10 cavities if you want even bigger muffins that dome up more. Just keep in mind that the baking time will change a little depending on how many you make.<\/p>\n
These muffins are great for breakfast, in a lunch box or as a snack. And the real bonus is that they freeze beautifully. I always make a double batch at the height of zucchini season so I have some ahead in the freezer, ready to thaw on the counter in a few hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
