Tips & Notes
- •Squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded zucchini to prevent soggy muffins. You can do this by placing the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeezing gently.
- •For a sweeter muffin, add chocolate chips or a streusel topping before baking.
- •Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
