Lemon-Zucchini Muffins
Shredded fresh zucchini doesn’t alter the flavor of these lemony muffins, but it does give them a moister texture and a nutritional boost.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line cups of a standard muffin tin with paper liners, or mist with nonstick cooking spray.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and nutmeg. Stir in nuts and raisins.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs; then beat in milk and oil. Add to flour mixture, then add zucchini and stir until just blended. Fill muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.

I replaced part of the milk with lemon juice. Still very little lemon flavor.
Will ditch this recipe!
Add Blueberries and put some lemon juice in and cut the milk
You want a more lemony flavor cut some of the milk and add the juice of lemon. I have a Lemon, Zucchini, Blueberry bread recipe. I did add the lemon glaze on top, which is so moist and it's so yummy. So, add the blueberries to this recipe and lemon juice from a real lemon and cut the milk.

These are lemony enough once they sit for a day. No changes necessary.
