These whole wheat muffins are full of zucchini-a great way to sneak in vegetables into everyone's diet. Serve them for breakfast, brunch or as bread with dinner.
Notes:
These muffins are very moist. The batter is not as stiff as regular muffin batter. The batter will be runnier, but not too much. You might need to add a little more flour depending on how wet your zucchini is.
