Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Line a muffin tray with 6 liners.
- Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl - flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and lemon zest.
- In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients - oil, egg, milk, maple syrup and lemon juice. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and add the grated zucchini. Mix until well combined but try not to overmix.
- Divide the mixture between the liners and flatten out the top a little. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean and they are gently brown. Allow to cool, transferring to a cooling rack after a couple minutes.
- When they are completely cool, mix together the sugar and lemon juice for the glaze and drizzle over the top.
Notes
- You can make these with either regular lemons or Meyer lemon, they will just have a slightly different citrus flavor. If you use regular lemons, you may want to sweeten them a little more as they are a bit more tart.
- You can also swap out to regular AP flour if you prefer.
