2teaspoonsVanilla
2cupsFlour

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash the zucchini well and give it a scrub to remove dirt and pesticides. Grate the zucchini with a box grater. Squeeze out any extra liquid with a paper towel or cheesecloth. Make sure to firmly press down the zucchini in the measuring cup to get an accurate measurement.
In a large bowl, add oil, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until all mixed together.Fold in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Spray a 12-cup non-stick muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or use cupcake liners. Pour batter into each well filling 3/4 full. Sprinkle each muffin with sparking sugar or granulated sugar.
Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until the center of the muffin (when tested with a toothpick) comes out clean. Let cool before removing from the pan to allow time to set-up. Serve with sweet cream butter.
Notes
I suggest squeezing out some of the excess liquid from the zucchini by using a cheesecloth or paper towel.
