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.

I have tried many chocolate zucchini recipes, but this one, with 3 sources of chocolate, is the most delicious! The sour cream makes it a very moist loaf, and best of all, it is super easy to make! This recipe can easily be made into muffins (picture), by spooning batter into greased muffin tins, and baking for 25 minutes.

Tips:

Use a food processor to grate the zucchini. This will make it easier and faster to incorporate the zucchini into the batter.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Triple Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of chocolate and zucchini. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a touch of sweetness and richness. These muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
