Lemon Zucchini Muffins {dairy-free}

April 16, 2014 by Kayley 12 Comments

Lemon Zucchini Muffins | thekitchenmccabe.com

Lemon seems to find it’s way into everything I make these days and this zucchini muffin recipe is no exception. Plain zucchini muffins seem like a good autumn treat, but add lemon and BAM! You have a perfectly fresh, Springtime muffin.

These muffins are so, so soft thanks to the coconut milk and zucchini. They are dairy free and have a light lemon flavor. They bake up just fluffy enough and sport some pretty great muffin tops, if I do say so myself. Nothing makes me happier than a perfectly rounded muffin top. On a muffin, that is.

The glaze is thick and creamy and just lemony enough without being too tart. I am over at Just Between Friends today as well, so click HERE to get the recipe or see the link in the recipe itself.

    Awwh these muffins are so adorable! And I really like that they’re dairy free yet they still look soft an fluffy. And hey, anything lemon-flavored is always a winner in my book 😉

      Hi Brandi!
      Sorry about the recipe, It should be back up soon! The plug in I use for my recipes is currently having problems with a new update but they are working to get the issues fixed asap!

    It’s funny, I do always feel like zucchini gets into all my autumn goodies. Why don’t I ever use it in spring?? I love zucchini after all and these muffins sound (and look!) fantastic! I can’t wait to give them a try.

      We need to promote more spring time zucchini love, I guess! Thanks Kate!

    For the coconut milk, can that be from the can or does it need to be the kind from a carton? Can’t wait to make these, they look great!
