    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with liners.

  6. Spoon the batter evenly into each liner.

Notes

  • Peel Zucchini or Not? Either way works in these muffins. I usually prefer to not peel when I have organic produce. 
  • Moisture in Zucchini? Do not squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini, that is what makes these muffins extra moist. If there is too much liquid, you can slightly blot it with a paper towel.
