“There’s a hint of cinnamon in these moist, delicious muffins. For a variation, omit the chips and nuts, and add 12 ounces of sweetened, flaked coconut.” —Susanne Spicker, North Ogden, Utah

YUM! My husband said this was the best thing I had ever made. I made 24 smaller muffins (20-25 min). I would add just a little less cinnamon and zucchini next time, just a little.
