Chocolate Chip Zucchini Banana Muffins

August 28, 2023 by Gina +

When summer is in full swing and zucchini is plentiful, it’s nice to have a recipe that uses up a couple of those zucchini. These chocolate chip zucchini banana muffins are loaded with zucchini (no squeezing necessary) but sweet from the banana and chocolate chips. They’re moist but fluffy and just delicious.

Summer gatherings call for dinners that basically Summer gatherings call for dinners that basically make themselves. 
These Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches are made right in my 10-quart Autuku slow cooker, which means plenty of room to feed a crowd without spending all day in the kitchen.
The simple WARM/LOW/HIGH settings make it easy to set it and forget it, and the PFOA-free ceramic pot is removable, so you can bring it right to the table when it’s time to serve.
Pile the saucy pulled chicken onto toasted brioche buns with creamy sesame pickle slaw and extra pickles. Save this one for your next summer gathering!
