Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar (white or light brown) plus more for sprinkling on top of the muffins
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Put the butter in a microwaveable-safe dish or measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively melt the butter in a saucepan.) Whisk the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla with the butter.
  • Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will be dense. Gently stir in the blueberries. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the tops generously with sugar.
  • Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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!

Tips and Conclusion

To ensure the best results when making these blueberry lemon muffins with yellow squash, follow these tips:

  • Choose ripe blueberries. Fresh, plump blueberries will burst with flavor in the muffins.
  • Use fresh lemon zest. The zest of one lemon adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the muffins.
  • Grate the yellow squash finely. This will help it blend into the muffin batter and add moisture without being too noticeable.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.

The combination of blueberries, lemon, and yellow squash makes these muffins a delicious and unique treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. And with their bright yellow color, they're sure to brighten up any day.

These muffins are also a great way to use up leftover yellow squash. If you have some squash that you're not sure what to do with, try using it in these muffins. You won't be disappointed!
