You know why I love farmer’s markets the most? Big part of it is the local produce, yes, but I love seeing all the beautiful handcrafted items by local talented people and all the homemade tasty treats.

The very first time that I tried chocolate zucchini muffins was about six months ago at a farmer’s market. It was love at first sight and not just with the taste, but with the texture as well.

Ever since my first time trying zucchini muffins, I started making them at home for my boys. It’s not hard to get me to eat vegetable because I love them but my husband and my son are a whole other story. They avoid veggies at all cost.

A good way to add some veggies into their diet is to disguise it. So I hide it in soups and stews, mix it with cheese or sauce, and now, I hide them in muffins with chocolate. These chocolate muffins might be packed with zucchini but they are still CHOCOLATE and you can’t pass that up.

Dark chocolate goes very well with baked zucchini treats and dark chocolate is healthier than milk chocolate.
