CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I found this recipe on Allrecipes. It is so delicious! Perhaps not for those on a low-fat diet, but all in all, pretty good for you. Moist, chocolate-y and so good. My husband hates zucchini, but he will eat these. Prep time does not include shredding zucchini. At the advice of a reviewer, I am posting this note. If you find that the cocoa will clump if you mix it with the vanilla and zucchini, you can add it instead with the flour and other dry ingredients. Enjoy!

DAIRY- AND GLUTEN-FREE ZUCCHINI ORANGE CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
My favorite muffin recipe is a chocolate chip orange zucchini bread recipe found on Allrecipes! But when I had to cut out dairy and gluten, I had to get creative to get the same satisfaction out of a healthier version. These turned out great! Be sure to add the glaze - it really makes the muffin.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 3 mini-muffin tins with nonfat cooking spray.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
Moist and hearty muffins packed with protein and other goodness. The zucchini makes these nice and moist without changing the flavor. There are lots of variations you can make. The rolled oats add chewiness and are a good source of protein and fiber, but you can replace with any kind of flour. I chose to use honey and brown sugar instead of refined white sugar. My protein powder was quite sweet, so these were as sweet as brownies. You could also use regular sized chocolate chips, but I like how the mini ones distribute the chocolate flavor more.

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
If you like the flavors of chocolate and almond together, you'll love this moist and tender zucchini muffin recipe. The almonds really make the difference - extract adds flavor and slivered ones give the muffins a little crunch. Once baked, the muffin tops have a nice sugary crust. A great recipe to try when zucchini is abundant....

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
These zucchini muffins are quite surprising. Super moist and soft, the flavors blend together wonderfully. They're actually vegan (but you'd never know). We opted for the sweeter options with walnuts, and they were similar to a cupcake. We would recommend trying vegan chocolate chips in them ... it would be fantastic. We also...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease muffin pan and set aside. If using paper liners, lightly spray inside of liners with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- 2. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together.
- 3. In another bowl, cream mashed banana with applesauce and sugar (use extra 1/2 cup for a very sweet, dessert-like muffin).
- 4. Add in soymilk, vanilla, zucchini, and any other optional add-ins you might like such as vegan chocolate chips or chopped raw walnuts. Stir until evenly combined.
- 5. Add flour mix to wet mix in 3-4 batches and stir until just combined.
- 6. Spoon batter into greased muffin pan and bake 18-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 7. Chef's Note: These muffins store well both in the fridge and freezer. If you add the optional 1/2 cup of raw sugar (for 1 cup total), these will be sweet for a dessert instead of a bread.
Tips:
- Use ripe zucchini: The riper the zucchini, the more flavor it will have. If you're using a large zucchini, you may need to use two or three.
- Shred the zucchini finely: This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from being too watery.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them to rise and give them a crispy crust.
- Use a muffin pan with paper liners: This will make it easy to remove the muffins from the pan.
Conclusion:
Chocolate zucchini muffins are a delicious and easy way to use up summer zucchini. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. And the best part is, they're so moist and chocolatey, you'll never guess they have zucchini in them!
