Zucchini-Banana-Nut Muffins

Zucchini-Banana-Nut Muffin

Our one and only zucchini plant is producing. It is a monster and I have a feeling, a lot of zucchini is in our future! Luckily, we all enjoy it..except for my veggie-challenged son. But, he does eat it disguised in a bread. So today, I decided to try making muffins! Fun and portable for my husband whose job takes him away from home every few days.

 I threw in a banana that was getting ready for the compost bin. I usually add a few chopped walnuts and some raisins, but you can certainly omit those.
