Jumbo Zucchini Chip Muffins

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling YIELD: 1 dozen.
There’s a hint of cinnamon in these moist, delicious muffins. For a variation, omit the chips and nuts, and add 12 ounces of sweetened, flaked coconut. —Susanne Spicker, North Ogden, Utah

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2/3 cup canola oil
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 package (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • MASCARPONE FROSTING:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup Mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, combine the eggs, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in zucchini, chips and walnuts.
  • 2. Fill paper-lined jumbo muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
