Zucchini Muffins

We harvested zucchini from our garden.


We decided to make zucchini banana muffins because we noticed bananas in the kitchen that needed to be used before the long weekend.


We took turns grating the zucchini, mashing the bananas, measuring the ingredients and stirring.



We spooned the mixture into the muffin pans and carried them into the kitchen.


We had to return the ingredients too!


Ready to bake.


One of the ingredients we used was cinnamon and we remembered there was a sensory tray with cinnamon, salt and cloves in it. A few friends decided to go explore it while we waited for the muffins to bake.


Ready to eat!





We enjoyed every bite! There were no leftovers! We will have to try a new zucchini recipe next week since we all enjoyed this one so much!
