Five Spice Muffins

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 18-cup muffin pan (or two pans totaling 18 cups).

2. 2

   Combine the shredded zucchini with boiling water in a large bowl and let them mingle.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, sunflower seeds, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and nutmeg until evenly combined.

4. 4

   Add the beaten eggs, oil, and vanilla extract to the zucchini mixture and stir well. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined, then divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.

5. 5

   Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a thin knife or toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
