Tips

For the best flavor, use fresh zucchini and lemon zest.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To make sure the muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one of the muffins. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
These muffins are best served warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
