Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 3 eggs, (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tsp. McCormick® vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups finely shredded and drained zucchini
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • ⅛ tsp. salt

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grate a large zucchini (or two small zucchini) and place in a clean dish towel. Squeeze until most of the liquid comes out. You will want to have 2 total cups of shredded zucchini after it has been drained. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl and using a hand mixer, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar. Fold in the zucchini.
  • Slowly add in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold in the blueberries. Divide batter evenly in cupcake pan(s).
  • Bake 16-18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of cupcake comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.
