Zucchini Muffins By: Heidi P.

Recipe Story

My three-year-old son, Owen, has cystic fibrosis. We try to make meal time fun. This is an old family recipe that puts our garden veggies to good use. We still use apple sauce in lieu of butter because the finished consistency is better. Zucchini can be shredded and frozen to make the muffins any time or the muffins can be frozen once they are complete. Hope you enjoy these!
