From spiralized zoodles, to classic zucchini bread, and cheesy casseroles, we plan to put zucchini on the table as much as possible this summer.

Notes

Serves 12

Do you have some picky eaters in the family? Maybe little ones that hate anything and everything green? These zucchini blueberry muffins are a great way to trick those at the table into getting some summer vegetables into their bellies.

Plump, sweet blueberries mix with garden-fresh zucchini and a buttery crumb topping to make a super seasonal breakfast no one can deny.

Cut one open and find bright blueberries and bright green specks of zucchini. Serve them hot from the oven with a pat of butter and watch the kids eats their greens – and enjoy it too.
