Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (1 medium size)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (loosely packed)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (mild tasting)
  • grated zest of a lemon
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin tin (for 9 standard size muffins).
  • After grating, give the zucchini a quick squeeze by hand over the sink to get rid of excess water. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, olive oil, lemon zest, vanilla, and egg.
  • Stir in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Then stir in the poppy seeds and zucchini.
  • Divide batter into muffin tin (I usually get 9 muffins). Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops spring back when pressed. Yum!
