  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup cooking oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon peel
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 2 cups blueberries

For the Crumb Topping:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberries and Muffin Tins

    Begin by washing the blueberries under cool water. Lay the blueberries to dry on kitchen paper or a clean kitchen towel. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two muffin tins with 18 paper muffin cups.

  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, applesauce, oil, and vanilla. Add zucchini and lemon zest, stirring to incorporate.

  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients and Blueberries

    Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon into a mixing bowl. Add blueberries and coat them in the flour mixture.

  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just incorporated. Spoon batter into muffin cups.

  5. Make the Crumb Topping

    In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter. Mix until crumbly. Top each muffin cup with some crumb topping.

  6. Bake the Muffins

    Bake at 350°F for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Enjoy!
