  • Zucchini: There's no need to peel or squeeze the zucchini dry. Simply place the zucchini in a colander while you continue with the recipe. 
  • Buttermilk: Regular or low-fat buttermilk will work. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make an easy substitute with this recipe. 
  • Cinnamon: The cinnamon adds a bit of extra flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer.
