If you are like me and have a sweet tooth these Coconut Zucchini Nut Muffins are going to make your day!

I’ve never thought of a muffin as “dreamy” but I might start with these because that’s my best description of these sweet impossible-to-resist muffins.

My husband made the comment that I put chocolate chips in everything while he sampled another new zucchini muffin recipe. So I decided to make a special muffin just for him with his favorite two ingredients; coconut and nuts.
