Moist Orange Zucchini Muffins

Let the summer baking begin!

With the perfect amount of sweetness, spice, and tanginess, these muffins have become my new favorite creation in the kitchen. As soon as you take a bite you will notice the complexity of flavors coming through.

The nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom pair perfectly with the tanginess coming from the zest and juice of the orange. To me, it’s perfect to eat in the morning since this muffin is not too sweet.

Serve with a freshly brewed cup of coffee, and there won’t be a better start to the day.

For this recipe, I added the zucchini because it provides nutrition, moisture, and helps create a wonderfully delicate crumb. Here in Florida, they are now in season.

You can customize this Moist Orange Zucchini Muffins recipe to your liking. Omit the pecans, substitute with a different nut, etc. Also, you can reduce the spice content to suit your palate.

For the past 4 months, I’ve been baking and cooking like crazy. This has made me improve in the kitchen immensely. In these uncertain times, baking has been my therapy, my comfort, and my safe place. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Making muffins is very easy. Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry in another one. Then add the wet into the dry. Mix. Pour and bake. That’s it. The only tip to keep in mind is to NOT OVERMIX. That will develop the gluten and give you tough muffins.
