1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups zucchini, finely grated

In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In another bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla, oil and zucchini until mixed.

Add the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until fully incorporated, scraping down the bowl once with a spatula during beating. Fill cupcakes.

**Note-you may even be able to make these substituting half the oil for some vanilla yogurt. Give it a try and see!
