Zucchini Muffins

3 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. baking powder

3 eggs, room temperature

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup oil

2 cups shredded zucchini

2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Beat eggs separately and add sugar until fluffy. Add egg/sugar mixture to dry ingredients and mix. Add oil, shredded zucchini and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Pour into lined muffin pans. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack. Good warm with butter.

Variation: Zucchini bread. Divide batter into two greased loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack, then remove from pan and continue cooling on rack.

A suggestion: shredded too much zucchini? Sauté it with some chopped onion and some cherry tomatoes in some butter for a summery side dish.
