I just made these and they smell heavenly as they bake, but I got way more than 18 muffins too. I actually ended up with 30. Which isn't a bad thing! My muffin tins are the regulation 2 1/5 inch ones, and I used regular paper muffin cups in them. Is this recipe accurate though? 2 c. of sugar to only 3 c. of flour is more like a cupcake than a muffin. I have another zucchini muffin recipe that only calls for 1/2 c. sugar to 2 c. of flour. The batter was pretty sweet too, more like cake batter than muffin batter.
Can this be baked as a bread, do you think, or would it need more flour?
Joanne, I'll try these again for an accurate count. I was making combinations of mini muffins and standards, so could have done the math wrong. As for the sugar, it seemed to make a VERY tasty muffin using that amount. I, too, thought they'd be way sweet - but after tasting, I thought they were just right. Certainly cut back on the sugar if you like a more "austere" muffin - PJH
