During the summer months as much as I love it, I can't wait until zucchini is in season. It's truly a versatile vegetable that taste great sweet of savory.
The Perfect Breakfast Treat
Delicious muffins that just shout with fall flavors.
Cinnamon and pecans with chocolate chips are all perfect combinations of flavors to enhance zucchini.
The muffins are tender cake-like and have a soft texture with the distinct flavors of zucchini, chocolate, and cinnamon.
Keep It Simple
This recipe is delicious for muffins without even adding anything else.
Zucchini and cinnamon are famous together in flavors.
If you would like a muffin that is less sweet just omit any chocolate or other additions other than zucchini.
Kids Love Them
I always try to get the kids to eat vegetables any way I can, which is always a chore.
I am very happy they at least love these, although between you and me, I don't tell them what's in them!
The muffins are so easy to make, even from scratch, anyone could throw the ingredients in a bowl and they will come out great!
Chocolate Chips
I love chocolate and zucchini as a combination in flavors.
If you're not a fan of chocolate like my son, then add raisins, which are his ultimate favorite!
I have also substituted coconut in them instead of chocolate or raisins or all three is fine!
Get Creative
There are so many recipes on the internet for zucchini muffins.
The additions that can change these up in flavors or numerous.
Think about adding blueberries, lemon zest or even raspberries and chocolate.
Make them your own recipe with your favorite additions, this is just a basic recipe.
Ok You Hate to Bake?
If you are not a baker, this is the recipe to try.
The recipe is basic, it can be adapted easily.
The other wonderful part of this recipe is that you put everything in a bowl, mix all together and bake in any combination of ingredients.
Seriously, how easy it that?
