  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 lemons, zested
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray muffin cup tin with baking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in zucchini, milk, melted butter, egg, lemon zest and lemon extract. Mix until combined (will be very thick). Fold in poppy seeds.
  3. Fill muffin tins evenly about ⅔ full. Set aside.
