Wow! After that heat wave last week the zucchini in my garden were growing like crazy! What to do? Get baking of course:) My family just loves muffins, so I thought these would be wonderful for breakfast or a snack. Needless to say, these were gone in less than 24 hours! These Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins are really simple to make and are freezer friendly. The zucchini makes the muffins nice and moist and the chocolate chips add the perfect amount of extra sweetness for us chocolate lovers. I will definitely be whipping up a double batch of these to freeze later this week when I have more ripe zucchini in the garden. What fruits and vegetables have you been cooking or baking with from your garden lately?

This is the best recipe for zucchini chocolate chip muffins! They are so delicious and so easy to make! Also taste great with gluten free flour and non dairy chocolate chips 🙂
Thanks so much Taryn! I am so happy that you enjoyed them:) I will have to try the gluten free flour and non dairy chips for my friends with those food allergies!
