This is the season in which zucchini is at its peak. And when that happens, as you all know, it means zucchini galore. One day they look as if they might still need a few more days to be ready to eat, and all of a sudden one has 10 zucchini ready at the same time. O,r a neglected one, left on the vine, becomes the zucchini that ate the town…

I always struggle with baking something that my kids like and that gives them enough nutrients and fiber at the same time. So chocolate zucchini bread seemed like a good option, and chocolate zucchini muffins even a better one. I had stumbled upon a French website , Lilie Bakerie, and found a chocolate zucchini bread recipe that looked amazing. Thanks to Google translate I made sure not to miss any important steps or ingredients and, voilà, my gluten-free chocolate zucchini muffins were born. This recipe is quick and doesn’t require a stand mixer. And on the plus side, my kids didn’t even realize that it had vegetables in it!

ENJOY!
