Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter (melted)
2 cups (15 ounces) granulated sugar
½ tablespoon finely grated lemon zest (from about 1 ½ large lemons)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 1 ½ large lemons)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 cups (15 ounces) all-purpose white flour (divided)
2 cups (about 1 pound) grated yellow summer squash (from about 2 small to medium summer squash)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add melted butter, white sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cream together until fluffy and light in color.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated before adding another.
  • Evenly sprinkle the salt, baking soda, and baking powder over the top of the mixture and mix well.
  • Add the flour ½ cup at a time and mix entirely between additions.
  • With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the summer squash.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the muffin tins (I like to use a #20 cookie scoop).
  • Bake at 425 degrees F for 5 minutes. Then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 18-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the muffins comes out clean. Be careful not to check them too early or you may cause them to sink slightly in the middle.
  • Place muffins on cooling rack to cool 5-10 minutes before carefully removing from the muffin tins to cool completely (about an hour). Store covered well for about three days or muffins can be frozen (see note).

Categories     Breakfast     Muffins

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound yellow summer squash
10 tablespoons (1 stick + 2 tablespoons) butter (melted)
1 large egg
2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
⅔ cup (5 ounces) white sugar
2 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the sliced summer squash in a medium saucepan, add about three cups of water and heat on high until water comes to a boil.
  • When water reaches a boil, reduce heat to medium and cover the pan. Simmer squash for 5 minutes. When squash is done, a fork should pierce through easily. Drain the squash in a colander.
  • Place drained summer squash in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the melted butter and egg to blender and mix for a few seconds until thoroughly mixed.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the blended squash mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just barely mixed (being careful not to overmix).
  • Fill greased muffin cups and bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes until the tops spring back lightly to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the muffin tins slightly before removing to a wire rack. Delicious when warm or at room temperature. These are also very good eaten the next day.

SUMMER SQUASH MUFFINS



Summer Squash Muffins image

This is a nice way to use up some summer squash. I used yellow summer squash because I have an abundance in my garden, but it would work just as well with zucchini. I used about half as much oil as similar recipes use, but more squash than other recipes. Lots of people sub apple sauce for oil, but in this case, I just subbed extra squash for oil, which does the same thing.Finally, I keep bees and always have lots of honey. If you don't have honey, you should add an extra 1/3 c sugar, a few Tbs of water, and a Tbs of vanilla to give it flavor. I don't use vanilla if I'm using honey, in order to enjoy the honey flavor.
