Can I tell you how many times my son told me that he didn't want zucchini in these muffins. And then declared that he wouldn't eat them when I dumped it in. Then when it came time to eat the muffins, his declaration was quickly withdrawn as he tasted them and ate 4 in one sitting. Then declared these were his favorite muffins I have ever made. This is to say, when the flavor is right, it's just right.
