Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini has a higher water content, which will help to keep the muffins moist.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help to distribute the zucchini evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from becoming too watery.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
