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!
CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I found this recipe on Allrecipes. It is so delicious! Perhaps not for those on a low-fat diet, but all in all, pretty good for you. Moist, chocolate-y and so good. My husband hates zucchini, but he will eat these. Prep time does not include shredding zucchini. At the advice of a reviewer, I am posting this note. If you find that the cocoa will clump if you mix it with the vanilla and zucchini, you can add it instead with the flour and other dry ingredients. Enjoy!

BEST EVER ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I got this recipe from my friend, who is a Health and Wellness teacher. They are super healthy and taste even better! Really easy to make too! :) You could also add nuts, or leave out the raisins. You could even substitute the zucchini with carrots! To preserve the nutrients, cool the muffins than freeze them immediately until you want to eat them. You can thaw them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they taste fresh from the oven!

CRANBERRY-ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
This recipe is from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. I was looking for a lighter muffin recipe to try and stumbled across this one online. The zucchini keeps the muffins extremely moist without having to add a whole lot of oil. The cranberries pop in the oven and add a sour, gooeyness that I just love. If fresh cranberries aren't in season, the frozen ones work just fine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- The dry team goes in one bowl (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt).
- The wet team goes in a separate bowl (eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla and zucchini).
- Combine the wet team and dry team, add the cranberries and stir until just mixed.
- Spoon the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini. This will give your muffins the best flavor and texture.
- Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time. This will help them rise quickly and develop a tender crumb.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help them hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Zucchini muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up extra zucchini from your garden. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a zucchini muffin recipe that everyone will love.
