Notes
if your almond butter is not drippy and easy to mix, warm lightly in the microwave just until it mixes easily with a spoon; cool before using.
*weight of shredded zucchini is after the moisture has been squeezed out.
place shredded zucchini in the center of a thin dish towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
