Carrot Zucchini Muffins
Neither of my boys were big zucchini fans, but they loved pumpkin bread. The flavor of this carrot-zucchini muffin recipe is quite similar to pumpkin bread, so they agreed to give it a try. I’m sure the pirate aprons (a gift from my mom) didn’t hurt either.
I liked this because it wasn’t like I was trying to hide the zucchini from them (although I’m not above that). I was just asking them to try a way to prepare it that they might like.
These muffins weren’t a favorite, but they ate them…probably with some butter and cinnamon sugar. They would also be delicious with cream cheese.
