Zucchini Apple Muffins
It has been a little while since a new recipe has been released and if you are subscribed to the mailing list, you know why! To bring the rest of you up to speed, Kendall has decided to back away from blogging after a lot of consideration and she will be missed so much. This means that there will be some updates coming to the blog in the upcoming months, so be sure to stay tuned to see.
So given the changes over the last little while, plus my recent trip to Switzerland and Italy (I’m thinking of doing a blog post on that if you are interested), I haven’t spent too much time in the kitchen, let alone trying out new recipes…UNTIL NOW!
I have always wanted to come up with a recipe that incorporates my favourite vegetable and one of my go-to fruits. Since both are in season right now, this was the perfect time to whip up a new creation. Perfectly sweet, full of fall flavours and quite moist (sorry if you detest this word) these muffins are sure to be a hit! And to make them kid friendly, just omit the walnuts. Enjoy!
