For a more intense lemon flavor, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter. To prevent the zucchini from making the muffins too wet, squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

StepLine 18 muffin cups with paper liners or grease well. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. (3 minutes)
04
StepBeat in the oil, applesauce, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract until well combined. (2 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (2 minutes)
