These super moist & dense Chocolate Zucchini Banana Bread Muffins are the perfect way to use up that summer zucchini...
I think by now you all know how much I love sneaking hidden veggies into the meals & sweet treats that I serve to my unsuspecting family. ;) I mean, it really isn't necessary for me to hide the healthy green stuff from my 5 year old daughter- she loves all the veggies.
In fact, she spent her own money to buy fresh beets from the local farmers market last weekend. So nope, it is not the youngest that I have to hide the vegetables from as many would assume.
It is my adult husband & my grown son who turn up their noses at most anything green or leafy.
So what to do I do? I stoop to stuffing those vegetables into decadent, chocolaty treats like these Chocolate Zucchini Banana Bread Muffins I am sharing with you all today. And no one is the wiser (well, except for my daughter who helped me bake these ;) ).
The recipe for these chocolaty, moist, & zucchini packed muffins is actually based on a 2012 recipe of mine for Chocolate Banana Zucchini Bread. I really didn't make too many modifications to the original recipe other than making them into muffins & reducing the baking time.
But between you and me, I definitely prefer this banana bread recipe in muffin form. ;)
These moist & dense muffins disappeared super quick in my house. And even though they definitely look & taste like a decadent treat, these muffins are 100% oil free & only have 4 tablespoons of butter in the entire batch!
The muffins are nice & moist thanks to the combination of mashed bananas & the pureed zucchini.
I went for a full cup of chocolate chips in these babies, but feel free to scale that back just a bit to make these muffins even better for you.
