Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease three 8-cup muffin tins. Using hand or stand mixer, beat oil, sugar and eggs on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Reduce speed and mix until just combined. Fold in nuts, if using. Fill prepared muffin cups about three-quarters full with batter.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until centers are firm. Remove from oven, cool slightly out of pans and eat or store.

This recipe yields 24 muffins.
