Blueberries and Zucchinis are in season right now!! Yay! What do you do with all that blueberries and zucchinis on your fridge?

Make some delicious muffins! That’s exactly what I did and my family are happy made these scrumptious muffins.

I have previously made blueberry muffins and for countless times baked some zucchini bread especially as the latter is my hubby’s favorite. However, I have never combined both in muffin form.

Thankfully, we had extra blueberries this week and when I decided to make muffins again – I remembered my quick bread version with blueberries with zucchini.

I made that bread many years ago when we were still living in Michigan and after we went blueberry picking. I thought it’s time to adapt that recipe for making muffins.

I was also a little pressed for time and couldn’t wait for longer baking time and making muffins made more sense especially when you have a kid impatiently waiting for her afternoon snack! Mommy had to hurry.

I am glad the muffins came out moist and very tasty. I added a little bit of spice for extra flavor – just a tad of cinnamon and nutmeg and I think that really made a difference.

Then my hubby, who was captivated by the delicious aroma from the muffins as they baked, had a yummy idea to spread some mascarpone cheese on the still-warm muffins! Wow! That was amazing.

I would certainly recommend that! If you don’t have mascarpone, softened cream cheese should work nicely, too. I am glad everyone enjoyed their mid-afternoon snack and hope you all try these wholesome muffins too!
