Back To School Snacks: Lemon Blueberry Zucchini Muffins Recipe

It’s officially BTS season. What exactly does that mean? Well, parents (and teachers) know it all too well…it’s BACK TO SCHOOL season! That means an influx of “starving” kids in the after school hours, tons of homework, paperwork to fill out, running to the store to get last minute school supplies…I can already feel the stress creeping up on me! One thing that makes life easier during the Back to School transition is super easy Back to School Snacks, like these yummy Lemon Blueberry Zucchini Muffins!

I L O V E zucchini but the only way I can ever get Angeline to eat it is in muffin or bread form, so that she doesn’t physically see the “vegetable” – for some reason, she has a strong aversion to all things squash-related.

It’s like she’s not even related to me!

Lemon Blueberry Zucchini Muffins

Lemon Blueberry Zucchini Bread Recipe

Ingredients

2 ½ cups sugar
1 TBS vanilla
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup oil (or you can substitute applesauce)
3 TBS lemon juice
¼ cup milk
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
2 cups shredded zucchini
2 cups fresh blueberries
2 tsp lemon zest

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

In large bowl, mix together sugar, vanilla, eggs, oil, lemon juice, and milk. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking salt, baking powder, and baking soda.  Stir into liquid mixture, until just combined.

Your batter will be lumpy and that’s okay!

Fold in zucchini, blueberries, and lemon zest. Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Fill each tin 3/4ths of the way full with batter.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

These are great for breakfast too, of course, but I love the idea of having a nice baked good sitting on the table for Angeline when she gets home from school that is not only full of veggies and fruit, but seems like a “treat” because, well, it’s a baked good!

    I love using zucchini in breads, muffins, and well just about anything, because you get the health benefits but you really don’t know it’s in it. 🙂 I love the combination of lemon and blueberry!

    A friend gave me a few zucchinis from her garden recently, and I made a zucchini blueberry bread. My lemon-obsessed self is feeling quite sad that I never even thought to add lemon. Those look incredible.
