The Easiest 4 Ingredient Zucchini Walnut Muffins

These little muffins are only 4 ingredients and are perfect for freezing. They are a no-excuse way to enjoy an amazing breakfast– even as a mom on the run. I like to freeze them after baking them and pop them in our microwave at work to enjoy them warm.

After I mix the muffins together and scoop them into the muffin pan, I like to add any leftover shredded zucchini pieces to the top. These pieces make the final appearance look more bakery-esque than busy mom style. Anything I can do to give myself a treat– without actually running more errands is a win for me!

Lastly, as the muffins come out of the oven, I broil them for 2-3 minutes. Since the mix is traditionally thinner than most muffin mixes, the broil gives the top a harder crisper texture but leaves the inside perfectly cakey. Watch them for over-browning!
