Delicious & Moist Zucchini Muffins



Every Summer I get to enjoy lots of Zucchinis courtesy of my parent's garden. I love eating them steamed along with other veggies, baked into a pasta, or even fried then topped with parmesan, but my favorite way to enjoy them are as delicious muffins.
Sure, muffins may not be "calorie friendly", but these are so good you won't even feel guilty for eating them.  These muffins are really easy to make and taste like you have been baking for hours. They even taste better the next day so these are a great for preparing a day ahead. Great for picnics and barbecues! They also freeze really well.
