Please refer back to the recipe post for pictures on how to make these banana zucchini muffins.
Do not overmix the batter. The batter should still be lumpy.
I use extra virgin olive oil but use what you have!
Use either use a fork or a kitchen utensil like a hand-held meat or potato masher to mash the over-ripe bananas. It's easy!
For this recipe, simply grate the zucchini as you would grate a block of cheese. I use a box grater. A food processor or mandolin would work as well. Just be sure to wash the zucchini and trim both ends off first.
