For me, these chocolate zucchini muffins are a dream come true. Let me tell you

They are moist, spongy, full of flavor and have tons of good stuff for our bodies… zucchini??? Hello?? Yes! These little chocolate gems have tons of it inside. I grate the zucchini because you can imagine that my kids are used to veggies in their life. They know for sure that everything they eat will always have something green in there. They do not complain anymore, but if your kids have an issue with greens in their sweets, chop the zucchini after grating it.
For me, these vegan muffins are perfect for school lunches, for breakfast, or as a treat in the afternoon. They are made with maple syrup, no chemicals, real ingredients, and even have a veggie in there.
