Pineapple Zucchini Crumble Muffins

Despite a few days here and there of warmer weather, fall has arrived and that means the last honey harvest has come and winter preparation starts. Daily life continues with the hustle of school and activities. When you have five kids and 4 are school age, a lot of lunches and snacks have to be made. These Pineapple Zucchini Crumble Muffins are a tasty treat for everyone in the family.

Our garden always has far too many zucchini’s this time of year. I feel like we don’t plant too many but then my garden is overtaken by the invasion of the zucchini plants. Either I plant more than I realize or the soil in my garden offers the perfect growing conditions for zucchini. Nevertheless, I hate to waste so many fresh vegetables and try to cook recipes like Chocolate Zucchini Cake, Peach Zucchini Jam and Pineapple Zucchini Loaf to use up some.
For this recipe I didn’t covert the sugar to honey but if you prefer to do so, you can try this one. I personally prefer the sugar crumble on this recipe.
