These moist and tasty muffins combine zucchini and berries with dates, bananas, and almonds and nut flour. The naturally sweet fruits mean that no extra sweetener is needed, so these are great for people who are trying to watch their consumption of sugar. Carrots can be used in place of the zucchini, and cocoa powder can be used in place of allspice to vary the flavor. Leftovers can be frozen for quick use at another time.
