Fall is in the air! That means it’s pumpkin time! Yay! Okay, truthfully, I use pumpkin year round, but I do tend to use it even more during the fall!
Since it is still early fall, with an abundance of zucchini, I decided to modify my favorite Pumpkin Chip Muffin to add in some of that lovely zucchini! And the best part is: my boys are gobbling these up for breakfast and snack! Yay vegetables!
