Recipe Notes
- Use a small grater so that you don't really taste the texture of the zucchini.
- If your zucchini is large remove the seeds and then grate.
- To easily bring eggs to room temperature sit them in a bowl of warm, not hot, water for about 5 minutes.
- If you don't have a sifter just use a fine mesh strainer.
Here's how to make it:
- Grate zucchini with a small grater (larger pieces aren't good in this recipe). Wrap grated zucchini in a paper towel or clean dish towel and press out the extra moisture and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and powder, salt and cinnamon together.
- In another bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, sugar, eggs, vanilla and oil. Mix with a fork to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients in two or three batches and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the zucchini.
- Fill muffin cups lined with baking liners about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 22 to 26 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean (a few crumbs are OK, because we don't want dry muffins!).
- Remove from the oven and cool.
