Making baked goods with zucchini is all the rage these days and muffins are one of the most popular treats you can prepare using this veggie. If you’re new to adding zucchini to your baked goods, here are three important steps you should take when making muffins that contain this ingredient.
Zucchini Prep
Before mixing zucchini with the rest of your muffin ingredients it’s important to thinly grate them using either a heavy-duty box grater or a grater attachment on your food processor. Once that’s done, it’s crucial to salt your shredded zucchini so they could release excess water quicker. Don’t forget to drain them so your muffins wouldn’t turn into a soggy mess.
Perfect Combo
Zucchini muffins became a huge hit because they taste amazing and have the ideal texture, but you can take them to another level with the right add-ins. Spices such as cardamom or cinnamon, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips can do wonders for your zucchini muffins.
Storing Your Muffins
Muffins are best stored at room temperature inside an airtight container for up to five days unless the room is too warm and humid. If that’s the case, put them in your fridge for up to a week, and make sure to wrap each one with plastic wrap beforehand.
