Instructions
1
Place the shredded zucchini in a sieve over a bowl to allow any excess moisture
to drain away. Grate the lemon rind over top. Set aside while you get on with
the rest of the recipe. (Sometimes there is a lot of moisture, sometimes none
will come off at all, it just depends on the zucchini.) If the zucchini seems
very moist, squeeze it out with a tea towel. I have never had to do this, but if
you want a very dry muffin you may wish to.)
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C).
3
Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
4
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, chia
seeds and salt. Set aside.
5
Beat the eggs in a medium bowl.
6
Add the zucchini and lemon rind, yogurt, olive oil and lemon extract (if using)
to the eggs and mix together well.
7
Blend the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just mixed. Do not
beat!
8
Using an ice cream scoop, fill the muffin cups half full.
9
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. The tops of the muffins should spring
back when touched lightly.
10
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
