Notes
- Squeeze out ALL moisture from grated zucchini. It is very important to not have a watery batter.
- Zucchini noodles can replace grated zucchini. Cut zucchini noodles into small pieces and squeeze out all moisture before adding to the bowl.
- If the muffin tops are getting too golden before the muffins are done baking, add a piece of aluminum foil on top and continue baking.
