Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins

They are low in added sugar and packed with fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and so much more. While I never suggest sneaking veggies into your kids food this is a great way to introduce a more hard to love veggie like zucchini to your littles in a way that may feel more comfortable to them. ⁠Source: Instagram/ itsthecardamom
