Green Tomatoes and chocolate chips? Sure why not, if it can be done with zucchini why not green tomatoes?

Pretty tasty and I can’t even tell there’s a whole bunch of tomatoes in these muffins.

I did  a double blind study, I closed my eyes and  and ate two little muffins. I’m sure double blind studies are conducted just like that.
