How to Make Blueberry Lemon Muffins With Yellow Squash

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
Beat in the egg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the yogurt, blueberry, yellow squash puree, and lemon zest to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the lemon extract.
Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
