Notes
- You don't need to squeeze the zucchini dry before adding it to the batter. The moisture in the zucchini will keep the muffins nice and moist.
- Add even more warm spices, such as ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ½ teaspoon cloves, ¼ teaspoon allspice, and ¼ teaspoon ginger.
- Fold raisins or chocolate chips into the batter instead of nuts.
