These wholesome muffins combine the goodness of Greek yogurt and fresh zucchini into a moist, satisfying breakfast treat that’s perfect for busy mornings. Made with simple pantry ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes, they’re a fantastic way to sneak extra vegetables into your family’s day – my kids never even notice the zucchini! I love baking a double batch on Sunday afternoons to have ready for quick breakfasts and lunchbox additions throughout the week. The Greek yogurt adds protein and keeps these muffins incredibly tender, while giving them just the right amount of tang to complement the subtle sweetness.
