For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter. Squeezing the excess moisture out of the zucchini is crucial to prevent soggy muffins. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving. For a vegetarian option, simply omit the bacon or substitute with sun-dried tomatoes.
