Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

I was very skeptical about these when I first tried them, but now they are a must-have for me every summer.

The recipe is also easily adjusted if you want more of one thing or less of another. I often double the recipe and make extra muffins (or a bread) and pop it in the freezer.

Enjoy!
