I realized that I hadn’t made anything chocolatey in awhile and muffins seemed like a good idea. Muffins are easy and quick and don’t require a lot of baking time, which is nice when the weather is hot! These Very Chocolate Zucchini Muffins have chocolate chips in the batter, which make them extra good and chocolatey.

The recipe makes almost 2 dozen (22 to 23) yummy muffins. These muffins are moist, yet cakey, and they have nice rounded tops. They’re also a great way to use that zucchini from your garden or farmer’s market!

You can't even tell these have zucchini in them, so even if you're not crazy about zucchini, you'd probably still like these! :)
