I can’t get enough of these chocolate zucchini muffins! This is the perfect recipe to make with shredded zucchini. It’s a healthy snack that tastes like dessert.
When I start getting zucchini in my farm share, this recipe for chocolate zucchini muffins jumps to mind. It’s a delicious little snack, and it’s a fun way for my children to eat zucchini. This is one vegetable that they don’t like in any other form, so I make this recipe a lot.
These tasty muffins freeze well, so you can stash some away for a busy day. I like to put these chocolate zucchini muffins in my children’s snack for school. When they see the muffins in there, they think I gave them dessert by mistake. You can substitute white whole wheat flour if you don’t have gluten-free flour.
