Notes
- Grate veggies finely: Finely shredded carrots and zucchini blend better into the batter and keep the muffins moist.
- Drain zucchini: Lightly squeeze out excess moisture with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to prevent soggy muffins.
- Mix gently: Stir just until combined after adding wet and dry ingredients, over mixing can make muffins dense.
- Portion evenly: Use a cookie scoop or measuring cup to fill muffin cups about ¾ full for uniform baking.
- Check doneness: Muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Cool properly: Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to prevent soggy bottoms.
- Flavor variations: Swap walnuts for pecans, add chocolate chips for a treat, or mix in shredded coconut.
- Storage tip: These muffins freeze well, wrap individually and store for grab-and-go snacks.
