Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients
  • 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp salt
Wet ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Muffins
  • 1 cup zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp flour (for tossing blueberries)

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep the oven and dry mix
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  2. Whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
Mix the wet ingredients and combine
  1. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, plain yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Fold in zucchini and blueberries
  1. Fold in the grated zucchini.
  2. Toss the blueberries with the 1 tablespoon of flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
Bake and cool
  1. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each ¾ full.
  2. Bake for 20–22 minutes at 375°F until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring.

Notes

For best texture, squeeze the grated zucchini very dry so the crumb stays pale gold instead of gummy. Store airtight in the fridge up to 4 days; freeze up to 2 months (thaw overnight in the fridge). For a lighter option, substitute half the vegetable oil with additional plain yogurt while keeping the same total amount.
