Notes

  • Choose fresh zucchinis and grate just before use to maintain moisture.
  • Drain excess zucchini moisture using a towel or by hand after grating to prevent overly moist muffins.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter when combining wet and dry ingredients to prevent tough muffins.
  • Line muffin tins with liners for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • For kid-friendly muffins, start with reduced spices and gradually increase.
  • Store baked and cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week for longer storage.
  • There are 7 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
