3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 zucchini, shredded
1 (8 ounce) container lemon yogurt
|
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest
|
Directions:
1. | Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. | |
2. | Mix flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Mix zucchini, yogurt, butter, egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest in a separate bowl; pour yogurt mixture into well. Gently stir yogurt, slowly incorporating the flour mixture until just blended. Batter may be slightly lumpy. Pour batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. | |
3. | Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. | |
4. | While muffins are baking, whisk 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest together in a saucepan over medium heat until mixture comes to a simmer and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Cover and keep glaze warm over low heat. | |
5. | Poke each muffin
several times with a toothpick; spoon glaze over muffins. Cool in the
pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. *Some suggestions: Instead of 6 T butter use: half oil and half butter, use half oil and half applesauce, or use 5-6T of applesauce and 1/8 c (flaxseed) oil Add 1 t baking powder to rise more Use 2 cups of zucchini |
