BEST Zucchini Muffins Cinnamon Sugar
You will love the sweet vanilla cinnamon taste of these muffins that are packed full of healthy grated zucchini. They are soft, fluffy, moist and make a great breakfast or after school snack! It is a one bowl recipe you can't go without this time of year. I make this in the summer and fall with all the fresh in season zucchini. My children love to come home to these after getting back into the school routine after a long and fun summer. Did I mention your house will smell amazing when you bake these? What are you waiting for...

Notes
Freezing muffins:
Cool muffins completely before wrapping and freezing. To freeze, wrap individual muffins with plastic wrap, then place them in freezer bags. Label all packages with the name of the recipe and the date. To reheat frozen muffins place muffin in microwave for 20-30 seconds or in oven (or toaster oven) for 5-10 minutes at 350°F.
