zucchini bread muffins.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

One of the reasons why I love zucchini bread is that it always comes out so moist! Every time I bake with zucchini I’m never disappointed. I added some spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to give these muffins an autumn-y taste! I also used some coconut sugar, which is lower in glycemic index. This means that it doesn’t spike your blood sugar as high as regular sugar!
