Small Batch Zucchini Blueberry Muffins #MuffinMonday

 I'm still working on using up zucchini here on the farm.   These tender, tasty muffins were breakfast one morning using up some of the zucchini and a handful of blueberries that were in the refrigerator.

It's time for Muffin Monday.......

Stacy of Food Lust People Love invites us to join her on the last Monday of each month in sharing a Muffin Recipe.  Muffins get made around here at least once a month, especially during the school year when they are a quick grab and go breakfast for the Teen.  

Let's see what muffins were baked up this month........

Muffin Monday
#MuffinMonday is a group of muffin loving bakers who get together once a month to bake muffins. You can see all of our lovely muffins by following our Pinterest board. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about Muffin Monday can be found on our home page.

I like making small batches of muffins.  Muffins are best when they are fresh and warm from the oven so unless I am feeding a crowd or plan on putting some into the freezer for a quick zap in the microwave, I like to make small batches since there are only 3 of us.

  2. Those wouldn't last long here at all! (I'll peel the zucchini to hide it from the veggiephobes though- LOL)

  3. Love the addition of the grated zucchini, Wendy! This steps plain blueberry muffins up a notch or three.

    1. I try to add in veggie wherever possible and zucchini is pretty tasteless so it works well.

  6. I love baked goods with zucchini. We don't have to hide it so I like not peeling. The little green flecks make then look delicious to me.
