  • In a separate large bowl, stir all the remaining ingredients together, excluding the blueberries, zucchini, and cane sugar.

  • Add in the flour mixture and gently whisk until just combined - this should only take 8 to 12 stirs, as we don't want to overmix it. You want to see a few floury streaks and some small lumps. This is the key to good, soft muffins.

  • In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of flour with the blueberries. Fold them into the batter gently, along with the zucchini, making sure to not mix it more.

  • Use a large ice cream scoop and scoop the batter into the muffin cavities - they will be almost full which is okay. Sprinkle the tops with the cane sugar.

  • Bake for 5 minutes. Then, turn down the heat to 375°F and bake for another 12 to 14 minutes or until the outside is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Once cooked, cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Then, transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving (I like to flip mine upside down so the bottoms don't get soggy.)
