If you grow food for yourself you will know that at times you will have a glut of something. I believe that the term "too many of" is nonsense, you just need to know how to use it and even how to sneak it into things when no one is looking! These muffins are an adaptation of a carrot cake muffin I love. The courgettes are the perfect moisture adding ingredient to muffins and as always these beauties freeze wonderfully.
Note: In case you are reading this lifting your eyebrows in confusion, a courgette is a zucchini. It's a British thing!
