Zucchini muffins make an excellent snack (or dessert) for kids and the entire family! This recipe is virtually no-fail and so good that they will disappear faster than you can make them.

We all need “go-to” recipes…those recipes that are family favorites or that your kids will most likely eat even if they are only eating certain foods this week.

Yep, I'm pretty sure that you know what I mean!

Zucchini Muffins Are A Great Way to Introduce New Veggies Into Your Child's Diet

I remember when my oldest was about 13 months old or so he went through a phase where he would only eat cottage cheese and blueberries.

As far as picky food eating goes, I was ok with that combo. However, I wanted to add a little variety to his diet (if I could sneak it in there).

It was around this time that a friend of mine gave me this recipe. I made it, and it became an instant hit in our family!

And what was better…my son actually loved these muffins! Often, I would give them to him as a snack food to supplement his limited diet.

I found myself jumping up and down with excitement when he would eat these zucchini muffins because I was giving him healthy stuff!

Believe it or not, I made them so often that I had the recipe memorized.

When my second and third boys came along, I did the same thing with them and was thrilled when they loved the muffins too!

I think these muffins were a helpful stepping stone to increasing the variety of foods that my kids would eat.

Now that we have increased the variety of foods in our diets, I don't make these muffins quite as often. The upside to that is that the whole family gets crazy giddy when I do make them!

What Makes These Zucchini Muffins Healthy?

Real ingredients such as whole wheat, zucchini, carrots, reduced sugar, ground flax seeds, chia seeds, and cinnamon come together to make a delicious, healthy muffin that I feel great about feeding to my family.

What Makes These Zucchini Muffins So Delicious?

As I do with all recipes, I have played around with it quite a bit over the years to fit our family and provide even more nutritional quality.

I experimented with white flour vs whole wheat flour, using both zucchini and carrots, reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe, and the level of spice in the muffins.

I have passed this recipe to many friends over the years who also share repeat success with it. It is a hit every single time I share these muffins or this recipe. I love those kinds of recipes 🙂





And the best part (as if it can get any better?)…it's a very forgiving recipe, making it very difficult to mess up!

Can I Freeze These Muffins?

Yes! In fact, if you don't plan to eat them within about 3-4 days, I highly recommend freezing them.

They freeze (and thaw) extremely well! I have 3 kids, so I tend to package them in batches of 3 and then thaw them out one batch at a time when I plan to use them.
