One thing about summer that is SO rough for me is the heat in the kitchen. I love to bake and, even with the air on, in the summer my kitchen turns into a sauna. Today, I decided I wanted muffins and I didn’t care how much I had to sweat to get them!

We’re heading off for vacation next week, so I’m determined to leave a spotless, empty fridge. I planned on making banana muffins, but the zucchini and strawberries called my name. I love zucchini bread that is sweetened up with a berry or banana.

One tip when you’re baking with zucchini: make sure you shred it, then allow for some of the liquid to be strained. Otherwise you’ll have quite a bit of extra liquid in your baked good–aka, soggy muffins. I found a super handy little red strainer at the Dollar Tree that is always by my sink. It’s perfect for beans, fruit or any small straining needs. After shredding the zucchini, I press it in the strainer with a spoon and all of the excess liquid is removed.

If you don’t have strawberries on hand, blueberries would be fantastic too–or chocolate chips and double the zucchini. The world is your oyster when it comes to baking–be creative!These Strawberry Zucchini muffins are light and fluffy! Perfect for lunchboxes, breakfast or a nice healthy treat! | @DashofEvans

After baking, be sure to place on a cooling rack, then store in an air tight container. They’re freezer friendly too! Although these are still baked, I love that they’re “healthified” with Greek yogurt and flax. The ground flax is completely optional, but I love to add it to baked goods to add extra fiber in our diets. It’s easily found on Amazon or in bulk sections at grocery stores! I love bulk bins at Fresh Thyme–they save SO much money, especially the spices!

How is your garden growing this year? Do you have an abundance of fresh produce popping up?

    Interesting twist to add the strawberries; never would have thought of that. I might try this with raspberries.

    I am partial to chocolate with my zucchini {because, balance} but these sound fantastic! I’m sure my kiddos would love them — will give them a shot 🙂 Love all your recipes, girl!

    Two great flavors of summer that I would not have paired together before reading your post. I love strawberries, and I love zucchini bread. Why not put them together in a muffin?

      I’m so jealous! We are BARELY getting anything from our container garden. I’m glad we have the farmer’s market! You should try my lasagna zucchini boats–those are perfect to freeze too!
