Vegan Zucchini Muffins

The thing is, I feel like I styled these muffins like Christmas. And I made these because I was craving this cake and because I had half of a vegan apple loaf guy for breakfast and sometimes a girl just needs a muffin. And my favorite muffin liners are parchment squares, my favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day, my least favorite holiday is Christmas, and I think I want to listen to this song on repeat, and it might be 90 later today, but I might make pizza in a 500 degree oven anyway. (I’m sayin’ a lot of things.)

So anyhow, these muffins are super tan from the muscovado sugar I popped in there. I like it because it clumps up adding these little sugar pockets, which are way better than a cargo pocket in pretty much every situation. Oh! You don’t have muscovado layin’ around? Use dark brown sugar! It’s the sister sugar.

Bake these up to eat in your car on the way to work. It’s way less messy than peanut butter toast or honey toast or a peach. So there’s that.
