- Tags: #recipe #kids
- Storage: freeze individually on tray then bag
- Comments: This is just a zucchini slice in a muffin tin, but with the recipe changed from what's normal. Intended to max out the zucchini content so zucc is by FAR the biggest ingredient, and to minimise the oil content. Good with or without bacon. Bacon can simply be omitted, it works well without.
