Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

Non-stick pan spray and butter to prepare muffin tins
6 tablespoons butter, softened
6 tablespoons vegetable shortening, softened
2 cups granulated sugar plus more to sprinkle on tops
Zest of one lemon
3 whole large eggs
2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Juice from one lemon, about ¼ cup
2 cups frozen blueberries, thawed and drained
3½ cups zucchini, shredded on large holes of box grater
4 tablespoons bread flour, divided
2 cups bread flour
2 cups white pastry flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F with two racks in center of oven leaving enough room for muffins to rise.
  • Prepare two 12-cup standard muffin tins by greasing the tops with butter and spraying the inside with pan spray. Add muffin cup liners to each.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter and shortening for one minute. Add sugar and zest and cream for one minute.
  • With machine on medium speed, add one egg at a time to mix. Scrape sides and cream for two and a half minutes to add air into the batter. Add lemon extract, vanilla extract and lemon juice and beat to combine.
  • Place thawed drained blueberries in a small bowl and add two tablespoons of the bread flour and mix to combine. Set aside.
  • After shredding the zucchini, place in a cheese cloth and wring out as much water as possible. Place zucchini in a small bowl and add two tablespoons of the bread flour and toss to combine. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl combine both flours, salt and baking powder and combine with a whisk.
  • With the mixer running on low, slowly add flour alternating with milk and oil until all flour, oil and milk are mixed in. Scrape and mix just long enough to combine. Do not mix further or muffins will be tough.
  • Remove bowl from mixer and with a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold in blueberries and zucchini.
  • Using an ice-cream scoop, divide the batter between the 24 cups, filling right to the brim.
  • Sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the tops of each.
  • Bake for five minutes at 400 degrees F then reduce to 375 degrees F and continue to bake for 25-30 minutes. Ours took 28 minutes after the initial five minutes at the higher temperature.
  • Use a tooth pick poked into the center to test for doneness. The muffins are done when the toothpick comes out clean and the tops are lightly browned.
  • Let cool for five minutes, then remove each muffin to cooling racks.

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:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for small, tender zucchini with thin skins. Avoid large, mature zucchini, as they tend to be tough and watery.
  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini blend into the muffins and prevent them from becoming too watery.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give the muffins the best flavor. If you are using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before adding them to the batter.
  • Do not overbake the muffins: Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly muffins. Bake the muffins just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Conclusion:

Zucchini lemon blueberry muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants. These muffins are also a good source of protein, thanks to the eggs and yogurt in the batter. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthy snack, zucchini lemon blueberry muffins are a great option.
