(So Soft!) Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins

August 9, 2016

We are getting to that point at the end of summer where I feel sentimental and also a little nervous. I must get everything in before August is out! But also, I adore AUTUMN and cannot wait to do everything that comes along with it. Just like these next couple weeks, these muffins bridge the gap between summer and fall – Summer in those perfectly ripened zucchinis, and delightfully autumn in the all-pumpkin-everything, of course.

  • Is it TWO CUPS or TWO CANS?

    OMGosh-I just whipped a batch up-divided by thirds-the batter is fanfreakindelicious–I only have one 6 muffin pan, so I’ll be making a couple batches. I did what I HATE to see others do, made changes. Wait–I had no brown sugar-used coconut sugar andmaple syrup combined. I had Kobucha squash that was given m, already cooked and pureed-so I used that instead of pumpkin. I added walnuts–because NUTS! If they don’t turn out, I won’t blame anyone but myself–but so far, so good :)

    These are excellent. My kids loved them. I cut the white sugar in half and used whole wheat flour and they were still sweetened soft enough for us. Thank you for the recipe!

    I looked everywhere trying to see how many muffins this recipe makes. I made twenty four regular sized muffins and 24 mini muffins! That’s a lot of muffins….good thing they are so delicious. I am going to take them to the church potluck tomorrow. I’m sure they’ll be a hit!
    Thanks for the great recipe.

      Thanks Marilyn! Yes it’s 36 regular sized muffins : )

    • Beckie

      These sound delicious. I would like to make mini muffins, how long did you bake them for?

  • ally

    So i almost never try a new recipe from online unless I see lots of comments from people who have actually tried the recipe.. buuuuut… so glad I took a chance!

    THESE WERE AMAZING! just made them last night and they turned out PERFECTLY. for those who bake at high altitude, I didn’t change a thing about the recipe and they turned out so well. so so moist and full of flavor.

      So glad!! Thanks Ally!

    Any recommendations on how to halve the recipe? They look delicious and I’m hoping my toddler likes them, but I don’t have enough flour, would I just halve all the ingredients? Thanks!

    • Rachel Schultz

      Yes just half everything!

    • Kathy Turbitt

      Taste of Home actually has a chart for dividing recipes in half or in thirds–very handy when it comes to tablespoons etc. I’m single and going to make 1/3 of the recipe-12 muffin;)

  • These look so yummy! Really great recipe for fall since its basically around the corner!
