Instructions
- Lightly grease or line muffin tins with liners, set aside. Preheat oven to 425°F
- Grate your zucchini into a bowl. You do not need to blot or dry it. I find it easiest to weigh my bowl, tare out the weight and then grate into the bowl to see how much I have rather than using a measuring cup. Set aside.180-200 g Grated zucchini
