Lemon Zucchini Muffins
These muffins are a heavenly combination of zesty lemon and memorable zucchini, making them moist and delicious like a summer picnic in your mouth! Let’s gather our ingredients and get baking!
Ingredients
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar (brown, white, or a mix of both if you’re feeling wild!)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (more zest, more zest-y goodness!)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (don’t skimp on the acidic kick!)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it up like a slip-n-slide.
- In a large bowl, combine both flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until it’s as smooth as your favorite jazz track.
- In another bowl, mix together the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, melted oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until it’s well combined, and your arm is getting a good workout.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. It’s okay if there are some lumps; we’re not making baby food here!
- Fold in the grated zucchini. Make sure it’s a party in the bowl; it likes to mingle!
- Divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. They’ve got to breathe, you know!
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until you can stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean—no gooey zucchini bits allowed!
- Let them cool for a few minutes, then enjoy them warm for that melty, glowing muffin experience you deserve.
And there you have it! These Lemon Zucchini Muffins are not only fun to make, but they also transform your ordinary kitchen into a mini bakery of happiness. So, grab a muffin, take a big bite, and bask in the lemony, wholesome delight!
