Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup (60g) coconut sugar
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 cup (110g) finely shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
- 1 large (50g) egg
- 1/3 cup (80ml) unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tbsp (30ml) lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (6g) lemon zest
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 pinch (1g) salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Grate the zucchini finely, place it in a clean kitchen towel, and gently squeeze out the excess liquid until damp but not dripping.
- Toss the blueberries with one tablespoon of the measured flour in a small bowl to prevent them from sinking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt until no clumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until smooth and emulsified.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Gently stir in the squeezed shredded zucchini and the flour-coated blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create the glaze, then drizzle over cooled muffins.
