Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins

This pumpkin zucchini muffins recipe combines two of our favorite muffin recipes!

Fall means pumpkin everything, but as a gardener, it also means we are overrun with zucchini. It is easy to find ways to use pumpkins but after a summer of me serving zucchini and squash as a side dish, it is harder to find new ways to use zucchini that my kids will not object too which is why most gardeners give up and start serving zucchini in desserts. A muffin isn't that different from a cupcake, in fact, we often call muffins “ugly cupcakes” at our house.

I love finding ways to add vegetables to my kids' breakfast and snacks. This Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins Recipe allows me to get both an orange vegetable and a green vegetable into my kids at breakfast time which is a double win.
