Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
Zest of 1 lemon
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon fresh chopped mint leaves
1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the glaze:
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
5 Tablespoons granulated sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease 30 mini-muffin cups.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs then stir in the oil, sugar and buttermilk until well blended. Add the lemon juice and zest, the zucchini and chopped mint. Stir until blended. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir until just blended, with no streaks of flour left.

Spoon the batter into muffin tins, filling them almost full. I think these are cute with a little overflow, and that creates more surface for the sweet sugar glaze. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

While the muffins are cooking, mix the sugar and lemon juice for the glaze in a small bowl. The sugar should not dissolve completely.

Leave the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then remove to a wire rack set over paper or foil to catch drips. Stir the glaze to blend, then spoon it over the muffins while they are still hot. Cool the muffins and enjoy!
