Zucchini Muffins


So delish. So moist. Of course, I'm in heaven. And guess what? So is my daughter?! And she's eating . . . what?! Zucchini?! YAY! I adapted this recipe from Recipezaar, and if I had carrots, I would had added a cup of those, too, in lieu of zucchini.

2 In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking sida and salt.
3 Combine eggs, oil and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (batter will be thick). Fold in zucchini mixture.
