For extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry ingredients. Squeezing the excess moisture out of the zucchini is crucial to prevent soggy cupcakes. Buttermilk adds a lovely tang and helps create a tender crumb. If you don't have buttermilk, you can easily make your own by adding 1.5 teaspoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to 0.5 cup of milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until it curdles slightly. Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
