    These Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are the best way to eat your veggies… but also have a treat!

    Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are the breakfast you need in your life right now!

    Double chocolate. Double delicious.

    Does it get any better when you get chocolate and some veggies in the form of a cute little fluffy muffin?!

    They are kid-friendly too, because no one will even know they have something GREEN in them! 🙂

    Better yet, tell them there’s a super secret ingredient and see if they can guess what it is.

    Bonus points if you get their reaction caught on camera when you tell them it’s zucchini!

    Chocolate muffins for breakfast?! YES PLEASE!

    They work for lunch, snacks, and dessert too.

    Let’s make some chocolate-y goodness, shall we?

    1. Gather your ingredients.

    2. Blend oats into a fine flour.

    3. Mix dry ingredients in a small bowl.

    4. Blend wet ingredients together. Yes, zucchini counts as a wet ingredient! Look at that green goodness there!

    5. Transfer all the ingredients back into the bowl. Because chocolate chips are special, and need to be mixed in by hand.

    6. Fill muffin pan with zucchini-chocolately-goodness and bake to perfection. (Or at least until they are done and your mouth stops watering.)
