I straight up tricked my boys with these muffins! Zucchinis, bananas, bran flakes. BRAN FLAKES!! And they didn’t even know it. Gobbled them right up and kept asking for more.
It might have been the chocolate chips sprinkled on top that lured them and masked all the healthy, nutritional stuff, but I’ll take it.
These are a perfect breakfast before a long day at school. Which, I can’t believe I’ll have a kid in Kindergarten in a week and a half!! A part of me is really ready to have him back in school, Owen thrives with structure. But all day? Everyday? It’s going to be a rough transition for him.
But with one in full day kindergarten and another in preschool three days a week, I’m enterting a new phase of life!

Kristy, these look wonderful, and I can’t get enough of zucchini recipes lately! My kids would totally eat these too (and love them)! 🙂
Thanks Joan!!
Sorry, but how can I find measurements for the recipes on your website? I’ve come across a lot of posts that just have some ingredients mentioned but don’t give the recipe itself. Or am I missing something?
I just moved to a new domain and there was a bug with the recipe cards! Should be there now Heidi!!
Great, thank you so much! Love your recipes 🙂
Why would you leave out the chocolate??
Okay for the life of me–I don’t see the recipe??
It should be there now!!
The cooking time is took much longer than 17 min… Should I be concerned? Also, they sunk in the middle?
Barbara I think it can range depending on oven and altitude! Cook until pass toothpick test!
