ZUCCHINI LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Zucchini Lemon Blueberry Muffins image

Moist and lemony with flecks of zucchini and bursts of blueberry. These summery muffins are a new seasonal favorite around here!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup finely shredded zucchini
1 cup milk (I use unsweetened almond milk; feel free to use your favorite milk)
1/2 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Zest of one lemon
1 cup blueberries
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or line the cups of a standard-size, 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, zucchini, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until ALMOST combined. Add the lemon zest and blueberries and stir gently until incorporated and just until the dough is combined. Don't overstir or your muffins could end up being tough!
  • Divide batter between muffin tins.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until the edges of the muffins are golden, the tops are springy, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the glaze. Into a small bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Add the lemon juice and stir with a whisk until a thick glaze forms. It should be a bit thicker than glue. (But don't worry, it will taste much better than that!)
  • Remove muffins from oven and set on a metal rack. Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire cookie rack placed over paper towels to catch glaze drips.
  • At this point you have a couple of choices. You can drizzle on the glaze now, knowing that some of it might melt into the warm muffins rather than stay on the top. Or you can wait until they've cooled, then drizzle the glaze on so that it stays on the top. Both methods result in delicious muffins, so it's up to you!
  • Allow the glaze to solidify, another few minutes.
  • Devour!

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS



Chocolate Zucchini Muffins image

I found this recipe on Allrecipes. It is so delicious! Perhaps not for those on a low-fat diet, but all in all, pretty good for you. Moist, chocolate-y and so good. My husband hates zucchini, but he will eat these. Prep time does not include shredding zucchini. At the advice of a reviewer, I am posting this note. If you find that the cocoa will clump if you mix it with the vanilla and zucchini, you can add it instead with the flour and other dry ingredients. Enjoy!

BEST EVER ZUCCHINI MUFFINS



Best Ever Zucchini Muffins image

I got this recipe from my friend, who is a Health and Wellness teacher. They are super healthy and taste even better! Really easy to make too! :) You could also add nuts, or leave out the raisins. You could even substitute the zucchini with carrots! To preserve the nutrients, cool the muffins than freeze them immediately until you want to eat them. You can thaw them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they taste fresh from the oven!

CRANBERRY-ZUCCHINI MUFFINS



Cranberry-Zucchini Muffins image

This recipe is from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. I was looking for a lighter muffin recipe to try and stumbled across this one online. The zucchini keeps the muffins extremely moist without having to add a whole lot of oil. The cranberries pop in the oven and add a sour, gooeyness that I just love. If fresh cranberries aren't in season, the frozen ones work just fine.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup zucchini, finely shredded
1/2 cup cranberries, whole

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • The dry team goes in one bowl (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt).
  • The wet team goes in a separate bowl (eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla and zucchini).
  • Combine the wet team and dry team, add the cranberries and stir until just mixed.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: For the best results, use fresh, young zucchini that are small and tender. Avoid zucchini that are large and seedy, as they will have a more bitter taste and a higher water content, which can make your muffins soggy.
  • Grate the zucchini correctly: To ensure that your muffins are evenly moist, grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. This will create long, thin strands that will distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture: After grating the zucchini, place it in a colander and sprinkle it with salt. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then use your hands to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This will help prevent your muffins from becoming too soggy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins. Simply mix until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature (400°F) for a short period of time will help them rise quickly and develop a tender crumb.

Conclusion:

Zucchini muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect zucchini muffins every time. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, give this recipe a try!
