Notes

Don't peel the zucchini, and use the large side of a grater or food processor to shred them.
It can be baked as muffins, as an "easy to grab" choice. Line a large 12 hole muffin tin with muffin cups and fill them. Bake for ~ 25-30 minutes.
Squeeze some moisture out of the zucchini, but not all of it.
