Hello lovely In Katrina’s Kitchen readers!

I couldn’t be more pleased to be here, but let’s be honest, the reason isn’t really a fun one. While Katrina is working on feeling better I’ve worked on a post for you to enjoy while she’s getting some rest. Katrina – if we were neighbors this is what I’s be bringing over to you to help in your recovery. Muffins make everyone feel better. Get better soon because we all miss you!

So who am I? Well I’m Melissa from over at Bless this Mess. I’m a photographer, recipe developer, Urban homesteader,  momma and general lover of all things delicious. My blog, Bless this Mess, is an honest picture of a happy small town life. You’ll find posts about raising backyard chickens, remodeling our house while living in the mess and lots and lots of family friendly recipes, dessert included.

Zucchini Banana Muffins are just what the doctor ordered when you are in need of a little gift to take to a friend, an after school snack, or something to go with scrambled eggs in the morning (or for dinner!). These muffins are light, fluffy, and moist. Plus, when you are combining America’s two favorite quick breads you are bound to win. Now you no longer have to pick a favorite; they come together!

I hope you enjoy the recipe and be sure to come over and say hello!

  • In another medium bowl combine the eggs, sugar, oil, applesauce, and bananas. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just incorporated. Don't over mix at this point of the batter will get tough. Add the shredded zucchini and gently fold it into the batter. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 18-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, remove from the pan, and then let it cool some on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container.
