Blueberry Zucchini Muffins from Closet Cooking recipe

A coworker gifted me with a lovely homegrown zucchini from his garden, which was just a bit too big for eating straight in my opinion. So, I of course went looking for zucchini bread recipes and found this one on Closet Cooking.
It looked tasty and colorful, and I happened to have blueberries sitting my freezer just waiting to be used. This turned out to be delicious! I adapted the recipe to make muffins instead of a loaf since I was in a hurry to get to class, I didn’t have time to wait a whole hour for my project to cook. They came out well after about 45 minutes of baking. They were very moist, in fact I refrigerated them in fear that they would mold on my countertop; they kept very well in the fridge for the few days they lasted. They even withstood freezing decently though they were better from the fridge, so I would recommend eating them right away if you can.



I ended up cracking my own walnuts as it turned out I didn't have already processed ones on hand!
