TRIPLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

Triple Chocolate Zucchini Muffins image

Moist and hearty muffins packed with protein and other goodness. The zucchini makes these nice and moist without changing the flavor. There are lots of variations you can make. The rolled oats add chewiness and are a good source of protein and fiber, but you can replace with any kind of flour. I chose to use honey and brown sugar instead of refined white sugar. My protein powder was quite sweet, so these were as sweet as brownies. You could also use regular sized chocolate chips, but I like how the mini ones distribute the chocolate flavor more.

Triple Chocolate Zucchini Loaf, or Muffins image

I have tried many chocolate zucchini recipes, but this one, with 3 sources of chocolate, is the most delicious! The sour cream makes it a very moist loaf, and best of all, it is super easy to make! This recipe can easily be made into muffins (picture), by spooning batter into greased muffin tins, and baking for 25 minutes.

Tips:

Use a fine grater to shred the zucchini. This will help to incorporate it evenly into the batter and prevent it from becoming too watery.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent them from overflowing.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
