Blueberry Zucchini Muffins
Description
The recipe uses a blend of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt combined with wet ingredients including egg, vegetable oil, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Shredded zucchini and blueberries are folded into the batter, offering moisture and bursts of fruitiness.
The muffins are baked at 375°F in lined tins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, yielding moist, lightly spiced muffins with a soft crumb. Once cool, a lemon glaze made from powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice and zest, and vanilla is drizzled on top to provide a tart, sweet finishing touch.
These muffins work well for breakfast or snacks, offering a gentle blend of vegetable and fruit flavors with citrus brightness.
