Notes
- After you grate zucchini, make sure you squeeze all the juices out to limit excess liquid.
- If you want to make gluten-free muffins, you can substitute all-purpose flour with oat flour. That also will give you more texture.
- For sugar-free muffins, you can substitute raw sugar with honey or maple syrup.
