Blueberry Zucchini Muffins with Streusel Topping
It’s peak zucchini season friends, and every gardener I know seems to have an abundance right now.
I was recently gifted some zucchini and yellow squash from a friend who was dividing up her CSA haul and so far this week I’ve made a yellow squash casserole that is definitely going on the Thanksgiving menu (more on that soon), veggie fajitas, and these muffins that can be served one of two ways, depending on whether or not you choose to add the streusel topping.
I decided to make the muffins both ways and we were a house divided with some preferring the addition of the topping and others who preferred a more savory experience but we all agreed you really can’t go wrong either way.
