Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with liners and set aside. To a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In another bowl, combine granulated sugar, vegetable oil, buttermilk, vanilla and almond extracts and eggs. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stirring until almost combined. Add zucchini, lemon zest and poppy seeds and stir until just combined.
- Scoop batter into prepared muffin pan, filling the cups about 3/4 of the way. If batter is lumpy in the liners, give the pan a light tap on the counter to even them out. Sprinkle tops of batter with sparkling sugar, if using.
- Bake about 25 minutes, until edges are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out cleanly. Allow muffins to cool about 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
