Zucchini Muffins are a wonderful alternative to Fruit Muffins and are a great way to add vegetables to everyone’s diet.
These Zucchini Muffins are a little sweet rather than savoury so they are guaranteed to be a winner in school lunchboxes, for morning tea at home … or even with a little ice cream for dessert.
If your children have a ‘vegetable’ radar and can spot a vegetable a mile off, peel the zucchini first – that way your zucchini muffins won’t even look like they include zucchini. For all the kids know, the little lumps of zucchini could be banana or apple!
Look for zucchinis on special – buy them nice and cheap and double batch your Zucchini Muffins. This recipe will freeze beautifully so perfect for the kids to grab & go on school mornings!
