Notes
- Remove excess water from the zucchini. It contains a lot of water so to avoid soggy muffins, grate the zucchini, wrap it in paper towel, and squeeze out the excess moisture before gently adding it to the batter.
- Make sure to use canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin for the best flavor and moistness NOT pumpkin pie filling.
- Do not over mix the batter. This can cause the muffins to become dense and chewy. It's normal for the batter to have some small lumps.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds of the way full to allow space for the batter to rise without overflowing.
- Make sure to use liners or grease the muffin tin very well. This will ensure your muffins come out easily once they're done baking.
