Description

A sweet and tangy way to use your abundance of zucchini.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Small Zucchini
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 8 ounces, weight Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 whole Lemon, Zested
  • ⅓ cups Canola Oil
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease (or use paper liners if you’re fancy and have them in your house) a muffin tin. This recipe makes about 12 muffins.

Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor.

In a large bowl mix together sugar, eggs, yogurt, grated zucchini, lemon juice and zest and oil.

In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and baking soda). Add the dry ingredients into the wet. Mix until just combined.

Scoop about 1/3 cup batter into each liner in your muffin tin. Bake 15-18 minutes until a toothpick stuck into the center of a muffin comes out clean (or in my case a giant wooden skewer—I work with what I have).

I used vanilla greek yogurt and it was wonderful! Added a little something extra. I was a bit suprised at how the muffins don’t brown as most muffins- because of the small amount of sugar? They were good and moist though!

Moist and rich, loved the lemon flavor. I will reduce the oil to 1/4 cup, as they came out of the pan a little greasy. Wonderful recipe, thank you Lindsay!
