Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins

Another pumpkin recipe!!  Tis the season!  I was looking for a way to use of some of the abundance of zucchini that I have and this recipe fit the bill.  It not only used some zucchini, it also used my favorite fall ingredient - pumpkin!

These muffins came together quickly, freeze well and taste amazing.  They are very moist but not soggy.  The spices are just right and taste great with a cup of coffee.
