Zucchini Cupcakes!
I love this time of year, especially when I can fill the house with the smell of cinnamon! Â Nothing says Fall like cinnamon and Zucchini cupcakes. Â My dear friend Elizabeth always made these cupcakes for my kids! Â It’s also a great way to serve the kids vegetables without them knowing. Â These are not only great for breakfast, but I like to put them in my kids lunchboxes for a snack! Â And the recipe is very easy.
Most baking recipes have these ingredients….eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, baking soda & powder, salt and oil. Â But this one also includes Zucchini? Â Yes Zucchini!
First peel two medium Zucchini!
Then shred it in your food processor.
Beat together the eggs, sugar and oil.
Then add the remaining ingredients including 2-cups of shredded Zucchini. Â Mix by hand.
Put the mix in your cupcake sleeves. Â Cook for 25-30 minutes at 325 degrees.
Your Zucchini cupcakes will look like this.

Recipe Notes
This recipe makes 24 cupcakes. If you shred 2 medium Zucchini you will have enough Zucchini for 2 batches or 48 cupcakes. Just double the rest of the ingredients. These cupcakes also freeze well. We make a few batches at a time and freeze the rest. These are really delicious!
Oh. My. God. These are delicious! Thanks for sharing!
