Notes

To ensure the best texture, squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter. For added flavor, consider mixing in a pinch of nutmeg or a handful of chocolate chips. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days or frozen for up to a month.
