If you're looking for a sweet treat that is also a source of good nutrition, look no further than these Zucchini Muffins. Not only do I love them, but my kids are big fans as well! There are a lot of zucchini bread recipes out there loaded with white or brown sugar, so I decided to make mine using agave nectar instead. I also opted to bake them in muffin cups instead of a loaf shape so it’s more kid friendly. Zucchini is a good supplier of potassium and vitamin A and it has a consistency that makes for a deliciously moist bread.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Squeeze Your Zucchini Dry 💧Grate your zucchini and squeeze it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to remove excess moisture, preventing soggy muffins and ensuring the perfect tender crumb texture.
- Measure Agave Precisely ⚖️Use a kitchen scale or lightly oil your measuring cup before adding agave nectar to prevent sticking, and measure it accurately since it's sweeter than sugar—less is needed for optimal sweetness.
- Mix Dry Ingredients Separately 🥄Whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, and spices before folding into wet ingredients to ensure even distribution and consistent rise throughout all muffins.
- Fill Cups Strategically 🧁Fill muffin cups only two-thirds full and place a muffin cup filled with water in the empty slot to promote even baking and prevent the outer muffins from browning too quickly.
- Cool Before Removing 🧊Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes after baking before transferring to a cooling rack; this prevents them from breaking apart while still maintaining that desirable moist interior.
