Recipe Notes

This recipe is my standard muffin recipe using the Simply Paleo Muffin & Cupcake Baking Mix. You can switch out the flavor ingredients to other flavors very easily by substituting the zucchini and carrot for something else such as blueberries or naturally sweetened chocolate chips (yum!).
