Strawberry Zucchini Muffins and Bread

Gluten Free and Refined Sugar Free

A celebratory morning calls for muffins

With Mother’s Day this weekend, I wanted to create a recipe that was both sweet and delightful just like our mommas! This recipe is inspired by Joanna Gaines Zucchini Bread with a Liv Well Daily twist. Very light and served perfect with coconut yogurt and fresh strawberries or your moms go-to nut butter.
