Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

If you grow zucchini in your garden every summer, you know that a time usually comes when you have so much zucchini all at once to use up. Cooking with zucchini can get old fast and picky eaters tend to not care for it prepared that way. So, of course, we make it delicious by baking with it! You really cannot taste the zucchini in baked goods at all but it gives so much wonderful moisture to them! I'd say that's a win-win!!

Just look at those melty chocolate chips! Yum yum!! This recipe calls for a little bit of both ground cinnamon and cloves to give it just a hint of spice! I think this is just so necessary in chocolate zucchini recipes. It brings all the flavours together so wonderfully! If you don't care for spices in your chocolate dessert, feel free to omit the spices entirely, the muffins will still be delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
