Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Zucchini, shredded (packed)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.33 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir in the eggs, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
