A Healthy after school snack!

These zucchini muffins make the perfect after school snack!

We got the recipe from one of our kids’ preschool teachers. And that was after our picky kid came home saying she had the best muffin ever. She isn’t a fan of zucchini, so we knew we had to try it ourselves, and it was amazing. I got the recipe and it’s become a family favorite ever since.

This particular zucchini muffin recipe is great because the muffins are so soft and sweet. Not only is it filled with grated zucchini, but bananas too which make them even more delicious!
