Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons of baking soda, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat 2 large eggs. Add 0.5 cups of vegetable oil, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in 2 cups of shredded and pressed-dry zucchini and 0.75 cups of chopped walnuts into the batter.

Step 6

For the crumble topping, combine 0.25 cups of butter, 0.5 cups of flour, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, and 0.25 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly.

Step 7

Divide the muffin batter evenly between the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over each muffin.

Step 9

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

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
