Zucchini Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Fruit, veggies, whole grains, and chocolate...gotta love when you can get four major food groups in one muffin.

This girl has been really into helping in the kitchen these days, and by helping I mean taking over. "By self Mama, by self!" Shes an independent girl that one. 

And heaven knows I love nothing more than baking up some breakfast with her while sissy sucks on cheerios and the sun is poring in our kitchen window.
