Chai Spiced Zucchini Muffins

Are you overrun with zucchini? You will be glad you are once you taste this flavorful Chai Spiced Zucchini Muffins recipe!

For some reason, my husband is not a fan of zucchini bread. So when I told him I was going to make zucchini muffins, he was less than thrilled. I decided to come up with a zucchini muffin recipe that was so flavorful that he would overlook the fact that the muffins contained zucchini. It turned out to be easier than I expected: I just used triple strength Chai tea for the liquid in the muffins. That was all it took to convince my husband to eat zucchini muffins.
