Recipe – Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

It’s official.

My kid is eating zucchini.

Well, zucchini that is baked into a sweet little cupcake of flour, sugar, and chocolate.

But that’s neither here nor there – it’s still zucchini, people.

These muffins make our Happy Home so happy.

Not only do they taste good, but they make excellent little treats to deliver to people we encounter throughout the week – our mail lady, the Happy Baby’s therapists, teachers, etc.

You could attach a little tag that says, “There’s ‘muffin’ like a good {insert what they are to you here, ie. teacher, therapist, etc}!”

And they are so easy to make.  Your Happy Buddy can totally do most of the grunt work while you sit back and enjoy the delicious smells of fall baking in your oven.
