It's official. I have turned into an old married woman. Perhaps this is why I am extremely content to watch QVC and bake muffins all day. On a Friday. My day off school. Oye.
Below you will find a recipe for yummy apple-zucchini muffins, which I adapted from allrecipes.com. Instead of using 1 cup of vegetable oil (as the original recipe called for), I substituted applesauce in the interest of making these addicting muffins a little healthier. Also, the applesauce gives the muffins a "bouncy" feel. Almost like they'd bounce if you threw them on the floor. But you won't want to do that with these... I promise :)
