Preparation

Chef’s notes

Weirdo alert here, but I like these best when stored in the fridge! They get almost a little dense and they stay super moist.
You can also make a more dense version of these by omitting the baking soda. You’ll need to bake those a little longer – closer to 20 minutes. They won’t get the puffy tops, but they’ll be super dense and moist thanks to all that olive oil and zucchini packed in each bite!
