Healthy Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

These delicious and extra chocolaty Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are a MUST bake!

One of our family’s favourite desserts is my Chocolate Zucchini Cake! If you haven’t tried it yet, you MUST!

While I love to make cake and other desserts once in a while, it’s not a daily occurrence at our house. However, muffins are! I always have muffins on hand, either for my afternoon snack or for the kids to take to school.

Being the genius that I am (LOL!) I thought, why not make my delicious chocolate zucchini cake into muffins. And that’s how these Chocolate Zucchini Muffins came about.

These muffins did not disappoint! They taste just like the cake, but so much easier to pack in a lunch or eat on the go. And trust me, you won’t even know they are loaded with healthy zucchini.

Enjoy these warm from the oven or freeze them for a later day, either way, you’ll love these chocolaty muffins!
