A while back, my grandma brought over an assortment of savory muffins from her local bakery. It included your classic Bran and Cornbread muffins, but also had Carrot Muffins and Zucchini Muffins. Needless to say, I fell in love with the Zucchini Muffins.

Now a little something about me: I am not one to wake up in the morning and crave a muffin (or any normal breakfast food for that matter)....I am more likely to wake up and want to eat a burger (true story). But this morning, I decided to make some Zucchini Muffins which I can not only have for breakfast, but can use as my "bread course" for tonight's dinner.

These muffins are delicious and moist, and packed with flavor. I made them in a mini muffin pan because I feel like a WHOLE large muffin is just too much...these muffins are bite sized and you can eat as many or as little as you want and not have to cut a large muffin up. I realize my OCD is running ramped here, but I digress.....
