Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F. and line a standard muffin pan with liners or spray with oil.
In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet into the dry and fold together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in the shredded zucchini.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the muffins on a wire rack for several minutes before serving.
While the muffins cool stir together the butter, honey and pinch of salt until combined. Serve alongside the muffins.
