Notes

Nutrition information is an estimate and can vary depending on actual ingredients used.
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.
