What else do I need to know about baking Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins?

I use a mandolin or food processor to grate the zucchini quickly. Zucchini contains a lot of water. So, it is important to drain as much of it as possible. One way to do this is by placing the zucchini on a few layers of paper towels, then placing more paper towels on top of it. Press down on the top layer of paper towels to squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini.
