- Grate Zucchini Properly: To avoid excess moisture in the muffins, squeeze excess water out of the grated zucchini using a cheesecloth or kitchen towel.
- Use Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder provides a rich chocolate flavor without added sugar.
- Sweeten with Natural Ingredients: Instead of refined sugar, use natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol.
- Include Nuts or Seeds: For added texture and nutrition, consider incorporating nuts like walnuts or pecans, or seeds like chia or flax.
- Bake at Proper Temperature: Ensure your oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C) and bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Store Correctly: Let the muffins cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
