Blueberry Zucchini Cream Cheese Muffins

These moist and flavorful Blueberry Zucchini Cream Cheese Muffins are a perfectly tasty way to use up that garden zucchini...

This is it folks. These Blueberry Zucchini Cream Cheese Muffins are my very last ode to summer 2014.  Fall will officially be here in just 4 short days.  

And while I know everyone has pumpkin and apples on the brain already (don't worry... plenty of fall yummy recipes are on their way here very soon, folks!), I also know that everyone is still picking those end-of-season zucchinis from their gardens and snatching them up at super cheap prices at their local farmers markets and grocery stores.

Not only are these moist, tasty muffins the perfect way to use to up that fresh zucchini, they also happen to be a lightened up version of one of the all-time most popular recipes on this blog, my Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins.  

Plus, this is another one of my infamous hidden veggie recipes. ;) And you all know how much I just love hiding veggies in my recipes from my husband and son...

Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins

These moist Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins are brimming with blueberries and a cream cheese swirl...

When you happen to have been blogging for a few years (or in my case, about 5), you often look back at some of your earliest posts and maybe cringe a tiny bit. And I do stress the tiny bit part. Because it is also pretty awesome to see how far you have come as a blogger and a photographer. :) 

Over the last year or so, I have been very slowly revisiting some of my early yet super popular recipes and giving them a fresh update. And these Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins are definitely deserving of a little spruce-up on the blog. Not that I think my first shot of these muffins was all that bad...

Yes, that is the original photo from when I first published this muffins recipe in 2013. Honestly at the time, I thought I had done a pretty good job with the photos on this one. I mean, they are not horrible. At least the lighting was pretty decent, right? ;) 

But with over 50,000 direct pins from the site and being ranked #8 in my top 10 posts of ALL time, I decided these muffins had more than earned their right to some pretty updated photographs.
