Spiced Carrot and Zucchini Muffins

Fall is certainly here and this spiced carrot and zucchini mix could become muffins, bread or little mini bread loafs (my favorites!).

Most of the ingredients could be easily swapped for what’s in your pantry- ie. you can use another neutral oil if you don’t have olive oil. Enjoy!
