Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

Moist and delicious, these double chocolate zucchini muffins are full of fiber and whole wheat goodness. 

One bite and you will think you are eating something made in a bakery.

Yes, they are that good!

These muffins are the best way to eat your veggies. The double chocolate hides all signs of anything healthy inside.

Grated zucchini and carrots are the secret ingredients inside these breakfast treats.

I got my first taste of a double chocolate muffin made with zucchini and carrots from the grocery organic section.  The muffins were moist and sweet we were hooked. It was the sticker shock that had me searching for my own recipe.

I paid $6 for a box of four muffins because my son loved them, but I figured I could create my own, save money in the process and make a whole lot more.

Mission accomplished!

They are loaded with grated zucchini and carrots and they are not green because the secret ingredients are hidden by all that delicious chocolate.

For that chocolate two punch, you’ll need semisweet chocolate chips as well as unsweetened cocoa for this recipe. I also swapped out half a cup of all purpose flour for white whole wheat flour to make these muffins a bit healthier.

Are these chocolate zucchini muffins allergy friendly?

These muffins are nut free and allergy safe. Swap out the flour for a gluten free blend if you are looking for a gluten free option. You can also lower the sugar quantity by replacing the white sugar with unsweetened applesauce.

This recipe is super easy to whip up. The hardest part is grating the squash and zucchini. I used a steel box grater but a food processor would also work well.

My son thought they had a delicious taste and a texture more like a brownie than a muffin. I guess I could have easily baked them in a brownie pan. He said the recipe was a winner. I agree!
