Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup zucchini, finely shredded
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, shredded zucchini, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
