I enjoy tweaking my old recipes by substituting more wholesome ingredients and reducing the amount of sugar. I think you'll enjoy this apple cider version of pumpkin muffins as much as I do. Serve with cream cheese, if desired.

Zucchini Bars
These zucchini bars are so delicious that my family can eat the entire batch in one day! These little cakes are very easy to make and really moist. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake batter if you like.
Banana Zucchini Bread
This banana zucchini bread combines two of my favorites: banana walnut bread and zucchini bread. I like to add walnuts and dried cranberries for an extra boost of flavor in every bite.
