PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER Any time I can hide my vegetables in chocolate, count me in. I can’t honestly say that I eat a lot of zucchini that’s not baked into something, but I sure do love it paired with banana and chocolate. I like to think it makes these Banana Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins healthy enough to indulge in on a regular basis! I first made these muffins last summer when I was given some zucchini (you know how it is, that time of year — boxes labelled “free zucchini! Take me home!” everywhere you turn), and now I wait for zucchini season just so I can stock up the freezer with these muffins. It’s also kind of nice that zucchini season and back-to-school season happen at the same time, because these muffins make such an awesome school snack or breakfast. These muffins have tons of good healthy stuff going on. Zucchini, banana, whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce… so I didn’t feel too bad adding the chocolate in there, too. The recipe makes a really large batch, because I am allllll about my freezer. They freeze perfectly for at least a few months, and you can just give them a quick zap in the microwave and they’re as good as fresh. With school around the corner (and my baby going into kindergarten!), I’m sure I’ll be stocking up for easy school snacks. This recipe is tied for first place with my other favorite banana chocolate chip muffins. They are so moist, the recipe makes a bunch and they freeze perfectly.
