Blueberry zucchini muffins are amazing; I don’t know why I didn’t try this combination sooner. I thought the magic ingredients for zucchini muffins were adding chopped apples or chocolate chips, but low and behold, blueberries are an absolute game changer.

One thing I love about zucchini is that it adds incredible moisture to baked goodies without changing their flavor. Of course, it bumps up the nutrition a bit, too.

Remember these three tips when making muffins:

  • Avoid over mixing the batter.
  • Fill muffin cups three-fourths full.
  • I try not to leave the muffins in the pan or silicone cups for more than 5-7 minutes to cool. Doing so will cause them to overcook and possibly become soggy on the bottom.

Using silicone or paper liners will prevent you from needing grease or using a non-stick spray in your muffin tin. The silicone liners slip off easily from the muffins and are dishwasher-safe.
