12 servings

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ 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
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.
  • 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.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
