Wow! I’m back you guys! Thanks so much for all the sweet notes while we were moving and for all the kind comments and support you gave my lovely guest posters. I can hardly believe that our year in England flew by so quickly. Not only did we have an amazing jam-packed 12 months of travel and new friendships, I pretty much lived in an “eat-all-the-things” state the entire time I was over there and managed to come back Stateside a good 15 pounds heavier. (It was worth it! Yum!)
SO-I’m in full-on healthy eating mode now that I’m home and excited to share this super delicious muffin recipe packed with all sorts of good-for-you ingredients! These little powerhouses are packed full of banana, zucchini, almond and made with almond meal and whole grain flour. They are about as healthy as muffins come in my book, and they cook up moist and delicious without the guilt! Let me know what you think!
