Notes

* If zucchini shreds are larger, recommend roughly chopping into small pieces.

* For egg-free option, substitute flax eggs. (1 egg = 2 Tbsp. flax meal + 6 Tbsp. water +  10 minutes to set). You could also use Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer.

* For nut-free option, omit the walnuts.

*Store muffins in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
