Banana Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread-Toddler Pleasing Version

I love my Pampered Chef mini muffin tin. It makes the cutest little muffins for all those tiny fingered friends. It's a been a few months since I've made these, so I decided to whip up a quick batch this morning. Our daughter loves helping in the kitchen; especially when it comes to sampling the end product.

The original recipe calls for nuts and chocolate chips. I was out of chocolate chips so these are just zucchini and banana muffins. (And unfortunately no nuts for our little one so those were left out as well.) I also only made half of the recipe which made about 20 mini muffins. If you want to make mini muffins, then fill your little greased cups and bake at 350 for 12 - 14 minutes or until cooked.

Here's the recipe that I found on the internet. Sorry I can't recall where I found it. It's eggless which also makes us happy since our daughter is allergic to eggs and peanuts.
