You had me at the word 'Muffin.'
I love carrots and zucchini. Delicious and even better in a muffin. For anyone who hasn't tried this, you've got to give it a go!
Yes, I agree. Making muffins with vegetables is a healthier way to eat what is essentially a sweet dessert.
Love the muffins but hate the fact that I read this on an empty stomach. Absolutely delicious!
Thanks Tim. Yes, eating carrot and Zucchini muffins on an empty stomach means you'd probably want to devour more!
I couldn't agree more, absolutely delicious.
