My family loves these zucchini muffins with raisins and walnuts. This is especially funny because Eric is the only one in our family who likes raisins. The rest of us tend to turn our noses up at raisins. But, somehow, these muffins are just perfect with raisins and walnuts. They help make these zucchini muffins hearty and delicious!

I got this tasty zucchini muffin recipe from my Mom and it is one that we have loved for years. It is great when you have a bounty of zucchini from the garden, a great sale on zucchini at the grocery store, or you just have some extra zucchini sitting around.

Quick Tip for When You Have Way too Much Zucchini

If you have a lot of zucchini from the garden, you can shred your zucchini and then freeze the shredded zucchini in freezer bags. You can thaw the shredded zucchini later and use it to make zucchini muffins.

I used to shred zucchini by hand with a mandolin slicer with a shredding option. However, I now use a food processor, and it’s insane how much faster I can do it.

Zucchini Muffins with Raisins and Walnuts Recipe

I love that these zucchini raisin walnut muffins are easy to throw together and bake. They are also delicious right away or after frozen and then thawed. I often make a couple of batches at a time and then wrap and freeze some of the muffins. That way, we can enjoy them over a period of time, rather than all at once.

It’s important to remember that no matter how many batches you are making, do not over mix muffins. When you overmix muffins, the add-ins tend to all fall to the bottom of the muffin during baking. So, to make sure that your raisins and walnuts are well distributed, be sure you don’t overmix! They should be totally combined, but then you shouldn’t continue to mix them after that.

    These are the best! I came across zucchini raisin muffins at an event and fell in love with the flavors. Later I came home looking to see if I could find a similar recipe and I did! Your recipe is super delicious! I make these often since family frequently requests the muffins! Thanks for sharing!

      I’m so glad that you have enjoyed them! I haven’t made them in a while, and this may just make me have to go thaw out some zucchini from last summer’s garden!
