Based on the wildly popular whole grain "best" zucchini muffin recipe (chocolate chips optional??), this lemon poppy seed version is out of this world good. While the lemon flavor is subtle, it is definitely helped along by a simple step in the recipe that I want to make sure you. The zucchini keeps things moist, as does the olive oil (!!!), and the brown sugar gets a little extra caramely so you have that barely-sticky browned crown of a muffin ridge, and then you get just the slightest textural interest from flecks of lemon zest and crunchy poppyseeds. Glazed muffins are best eaten within a few hours before glaze begins to soak into the muffin.

Instructions to make Lemon Poppy Zucchini Muffins with Lemon Glaze:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare muffin tins by greasing with shortening, spraying with cooking spray, or using paper muffin cup liners.
3. In medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and poppy seeds. Set aside.
4. In another bowl combine zucchini, egg, buttermilk, oil and zest of lemon.
5. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix to combine. Do not over mix. It will be lumpy and thick.
6. Divide evenly into muffin tins. I usually get about 12 muffins with a tiny bit of batter leftover.
7. Bake for 18 to minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when stuck in the middle.
8. Remove muffins to wire rack to begin to cool.
9. Prepare lemon glaze by adding enough lemon juice into confectioners sugar until you get a thick glaze consistency.
10. I usually add between 5-7 tsps. Add one teaspoon at a time because it's easy to add too much and then your glaze will be too thin.
11. Dip the tops of the muffins into the glaze and put back on wire rack to finish cooling.
12. These are dense, moist muffins that without the glaze are not too sweet. I usually leave a few unglazed and eat them for breakfast with a bit of butter on them.
