Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini and carrots. Use fresh, firm zucchini and carrots for the best flavor and texture. Avoid vegetables that are wilted or have blemishes.
- Grate the zucchini and carrots finely. This will help them blend into the batter evenly and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing during baking.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes. This will help them to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

These delicious zucchini carrot muffins are a great way to use up fresh summer vegetables. They're moist, flavorful, and packed with nutrients.
