These turned out really well. They taste delightful and the texture is spot on. Although I’m with out my trusty taster Maggie (she went back to school) I mailed her a batch and I think these will hold up well in transit. I’m proactively giving them two thumbs up.

- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Zucchini
- Almond Slivers
DIRECTIONS:
1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and prep 10 0r 11 muffin cups (this recipe did not make 12. It just barely made 11)
2. In a medium bowl whisk together the Whole Wheat Flour, Baking Soda and Salt.
3. In a large bowl mash the Bananas, add the Sugar, Yogurt, Vegetable Oil, Peach and Extract. Stir until combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients into the wet .

These are yummy, but came out moist. They passed the toothpick test, but once they cooled the centers got a bit gooey.
