Tips and Tricks
For super moist and fluffy muffins do not squeeze the moisture out from the zucchini. For less moist muffins, give the zucchini a gentle squeeze to release some of its natural juices. Either way, this recipe is easy and delicious.
Serve these muffins warm from the oven for best results. When storing, add a sheet of paper towel to the bottom of a sealable container. Store the muffins at room temperature for three to four days. Reheat any leftover muffins for 10-20 seconds in the microwave before enjoying.

I made these this morning with zucchini a neighbor was kind enough to give me from his garden. They were so good, I made sure to drop a few off to my neighbor as a thank you! I will be hanging on to this recipe.
Let me tell you, this was such an easy recipe and delicious. I made them for my friends (most are picky eaters) and they didn’t even know they were healthy until they asked for the recipe. Thank you! Will be making these for years to come!
Can you add the ingredient measurements?
yes!! sorry about that!
