zucchini muffins

These muffins just scream FALL COMFORT FOOD! My bet is that they won’t last long, so it’s a good thing they are so easy to make! Plus, isn’t it about pumpkin spice time anyways? Coffee, Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Dinner…doesn’t matter – just serve them! They will be eaten.

Bonus: with the zucchini added to the pumpkin you get that veggie serving your kids probably fight you on. I find anything topped with chocolate chips distracts people from what is inside. Your kids will not even notice the green flecks!
