In a food processor or blender, chop your zucchini until almost smooth. Using paper towels or a cheesecloth, press out any excess moisture. Gently fold in your the zucchini into the batter.

For bread loaves: Spray 2 loaf pans with non stick spray or line with parchment paper and bake at 325F for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick placed into the middle comes out clean.

For muffins: spray muffin tins or line with cupcake liners and bake at 325F for 18-22 minutes (until they spring back when touched in the center). Allow to cool just enough to flip out onto a clean towel or cooling rack.
