Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
Larry B
"A wonderful way to use the extra bounty of summer, and make a tasty treat. You can adjust the recipe to suit your family's tastes, or create your own variations. For an optional topping use any, all or a combination of the following: equal parts brown sugar, chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips. Sprinkle tops of muffins just prior to baking."

The muffins were okay, but nothing special. The chocolate taste was barely noticeable, in fact. A bit on the dry side as well, though that was partially my fault for reducing the amount of oil...

These were great! I used a cup of apple sauce instead of the oil and cut the sugar in half to make them a little healthier.

I changed it a bit, since I didn't have cardamom on hand~ doubled the cinnamon instead. I also did half brown/half white sugar and it still turned out great.

My children loved these muffins. I did make one change. There was too much oil for my taste, so I used 1/2 cup oil plus 2 mashed ripe bananas. Very moist and nicely spiced muffins.

Delicious! My family didn't even know there was zucchini in it. They were very moist. I did not add the spices, because I personally don't like spices mixed with chocolate. The muffins taste...

These were a big thumbs up. Yummy! I didn't have enough cocoa so I added a few chocolate chips to the batter and sprinkled a few on top before baking.

A little dry, nothing spectacular. A good use of excess zucchini but not my first choice of zucchini bread. The kids did eat it and request more - always a good sign! I will make it again w...
