Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and nuts (if using).
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
