Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup shortening

  • 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini

  • ¼ cup sour milk

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners.

  2. Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and pour in zucchini, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Mix to combine, then fold in walnuts. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 to 3/4 full. Sprinkle tops with brown sugar.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
