Instructions

- Stir in the chocolate chips (if adding).
- Transfer the zucchini muffin batter into the lined muffin pan, filling them almost all the way up with batter.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins test clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 30 minutes before peeling off the muffin papers to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
Notes
*Use olive oil, coconut oil, or melted butter if you'd like instead of avocado oil.
**You can replace the lemon juice with lime juice, cider vinegar, rice vinegar, etc.
