These beautiful muffins packed with zucchini and raspberries have the perfect balance of tart and lemony sweet flavor to start your day!

A cooling rack with muffins.

 I wanted another zucchini recipe to try to keep up with all the zucchini in my garden.  This year I planted yellow zucchini as well as green zucchini.  I thought the yellow zucchini would make some pretty lemon muffins and as luck would have it raspberries have been on sale.  The raspberries really help bring out the lemon flavor.  If you only have green zucchini don't worry.  It will work just as well.

How to make:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. Beat the lemon zest, citric acid and sugar together until the sugar has a yellow tint.
  3. Add the butter and cream well.
  4. Beat in the eggs and lemon extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and milk.  Set it aside.
  6. Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt and ⅓ of the flour to the batter.
  7. Stir in ½ of the milk/sour cream.
  8. Mix in another ⅓ of the flour.
  9. Stir in the last half of the milk.
  10. Fold the grated zucchini,  and raspberries in with the last of the flour.  Fold just until combined.
  11. Divide the batter among the 18 muffin cups.  The muffin cups will be really full.
  12. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.  A toothpick should come out clean.
  13. Cool completely and serve.
