Baked goods Thursday? Shall we make this a thing? How about a little morning snack on the go? Intro: breakfast zucchini walnut muffins!
I'm going to level with you here. These are basically the same as my carrot walnut muffins...but with zucchini ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ. It's been a bit of a rough go of it lately, so sometimes you just gotta bake what you know. And in any case, totally different veggie, same delicious taste!
Also cool side note, these muffins are on the (somewhat) healthier side. Yes they still have sugar, because yum. But they ALSO have half whole wheat flour, apple sauce as an extra sweetener, and coconut oil instead of veggie oil or butter. Speaking of which, these little morsels are dairy free!
