Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 medium, grated zucchini
• 1 cup blueberries
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay.

Step 5

Gently fold in the grated zucchini and blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful spring treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
