There’s nothing better than having a nice piece of cornbread to dip into your winter soup – you can, in some cases even slather a little butter on top and eat these incredibly moist, delicious muffins for breakfast, too.
If you have a garden overflowing with zucchini, they are the perfect solution. Shred all that zucchini up and freeze it for many batches of Zucchini Cornbread Muffins to carry you through winter – you’ll love these so much you might even find yourself sneaking them at breakfast, lunch and hours in between.
We make these frequently – they are perfect in a regular muffin pan.. but if you have little hands in the house like we do, then make a batch or two in the mini muffin pan and they’ll be the perfect size for little hands and tummies.
