zucchini muffins

just made some zucchini muffins and mini muffins. i used the recipe out of erin mckennas babycakes cookbook as opposed to the chocolate chip zucchini bread recipe i have been using. they turned out well. they are a little less sweet and more like a breakfast muffin than a dessert!
