During the Spring and Summer months, I really love to garden. I am no where near an expert gardener but I love to experiment and get my hands dirty. It’s so gratifying to put some seeds in the ground and a few weeks later have actual food to harvest.

The easiest plant to grow, in my opinion, is zucchini. Each year, I vow to only plant a few seeds but always end up with WAY too many zucchinis each summer. One of my most common Pinterest searches during that time of the year is “how to use up zucchini”. And usually my kids help the cause by delivering zucchinis to neighbors who will take them.

So what is a girl to do with a bumper crop of zucchini?

Well, zucchini is delicious raw, grilled, and chopped up in salads, but these chocolate zucchini muffins might be my favorite way to use it up. Even though I’m a dietitian, I still love my chocolate! (Everything in moderation, you know!)

I have even added some chocolate frosting to them and served them as birthday cake.

While there are healthier ways to eat zucchini, these muffins are relatively healthy and they’re dairy free, egg free, soy free, gluten/wheat free, peanut free, and tree nut free (not to mention delicious!)
