How do you eat zucchini for breakfast? In a muffin of course! If you have extra zucchini lying around (and let’s be honest, we all have that neighbor who showers us from their bounty of zucchini or tomatoes), you must make these Breakfast Zucchini Muffins! They are so delicious and hearty. The combination of flavors of walnuts and zucchini with cinnamon is amazing! It’s nutty and sweet and makes you feel cozy all around. This recipe yields 12 jumbo muffins. If that’s too much feel free to freeze extras and just defrost them in the refrigerator on an as needed basis the night before. Or if you are not a muffin fan, you can easily convert these Breakfast Zucchini Muffins into zucchini bread as well. Just read my notes.
