Fruit or Veggie Muffins

I'm sure many parents can relate when I say I'm constantly trying to get fruits and vegetables in my kids.  They are slowly trying more things but it seems to change from one day to the next what they will be willing to eat.  I came across this great zucchini bread recipe from Lisa over at 100 Days of Real Food.  Zucchini is a vegetable that I can never get my kids to eat.  But, I love a recipe where I can put it in there and they will eat it and I always make sure to tell them they are eating it:  "Guess what kids? You like zucchini!"  I made my own gluten-free version of the zucchini bread.  I prefer them as muffins because they are already portioned, freeze really well, and don't make as much of a mess.  So far I've done this recipe with zucchini, carrot, and apple.  All were really good!  We like to have a couple of these muffins with a nice big smoothie as one of our easy lunch ideas.  The kids love it.
