Notes
Don’t squeeze the zucchini: Leave the moisture in to keep muffins soft.
Use fresh blueberries: They hold their shape better and don’t bleed into the batter.
Don’t overmix: Stir just until the batter comes together for light muffins.
Fill evenly: Try to keep the muffin cups equally filled so they bake uniformly.
