Squash and zucchini is everywhere!! I’ve been taking full advantage by making recipes like this and this oh and this one too, to name a few.

So I might as well add these sweet, moist vegetable muffins to the list. My toddler asked me to make these muffins for him last week. I don’t know why I just light up when he asks me to make him things. I love cooking for my lil mook mook.

Anyway, I use to make these vegetable muffins for him in mini-form all the time when he was one. I couldn’t believe he still remembered them. I guess seeing all the squash and zucchini piled up on the counter jogged his memory.

These muffins are loaded with sweet carrots, zucchini, and squash with a sweet, cinnamon taste. If you like quick breads like banana bread, zucchini bread, apple bread and things like that, then you will love these muffins!

If you’re a veggie hater, don’t worry about tasting any veggies in this recipe. My son says “it just tastes like cake” : )
