Zucchini-Banana Muffins

I know, I know–another muffin recipe!  I can’t help it–I love muffins and so do my kids.  I think they’re great because they fill in where otherwise I would offer some highly processed food, like Fig Newtons.  When I bake muffins, I control all the ingredients and am able to pack in fruits and veggies.  This recipe uses a ton of zucchini and several bananas and makes a big batch, perfect for freezing for later.

These are really tasty and, of course, remind me of these Chocolate Zucchini-Banana Muffins.  This recipe is adapted from Healthy Girl’s Kitchen.
