Trying to get a few more veggies in your kids body? These zucchini muffins are loaded with zucchini, flavor and deliciousness.  My kids loved them and couldn’t tell there was zucchini in them. I am a lucky mom, that our kids love fruits and veggies. They don’t complain about eating them and actually ask for them. However if I can sneak some in a snack or meal, I will.

I have learned they love coming home to a homemade snack. I think it makes them feel extra special. They love asking questions about my baking. They are always wanting to help me in the kitchen whether it’s baking or cooking. Each week I am trying to do something in the kitchen with one of them, usually it is Isabella. She just loves to bake. Sometimes we bake a new recipe and sometimes it is an old recipe.

 

Back to these muffins. They are easy to make, which I love. I mix all the wet ingredients and sugars together. Next add the dry ingredients and mix. I know you should whisk the dry ingredients together, but I don’t do that with this recipe. I want to keep it a one bowl recipe. Throw in the shredded zucchini, chocolate chips and nuts and you are done. I love that this recipe is not only easy but delicious. It is hard to just eat one.
