Delicious soft and moist Zucchini Muffins topped with smooth and creamy Hot Fudge Sauce! Quick and oh, so delicious treat in the morning (or any time of the day)!

How about them apples…eh, zucchinis?! I’m actually talking about these muffins! It’s not your ordinary zucchini muffins…chocolate makes everything better!

The second I saw some big and beautiful zucchinis at the farmer’s market, I could practically smell muffins. Oh boy, did they smell amazing when baking. No air freshener will ever come close to some fresh baked goodies, baking in the oven!

To kick these delicious muffins up a bit, I made some of my Hot Fudge Sauce to top ’em off. I forgot just how heavenly this sauce really is! Haven’t made it since my Coffee Mocha Blondies. (Boy, those smelled and tastes amazing! I should make them again.) It’s a very simple sauce but it’s so smooth and creamy, you will find yourself eating it with a spoon in the corner! Disclosure: I am not responsible to the consequences after you eat the entire jar of this sauce and follow it up with a muffin!!

Ingredients

  • Zucchini Muffins:
  • 2 cups of shredded zucchini
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup of hot fudge topping
  • 1 tbs of dark brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 and grease a muffin pan.

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, oil, vanilla, sugar and yogurt.
  • Add zucchini and mix well.
  • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until all evenly incorporated.
  • Divide the batter among muffin cups, filling them 3/4 of the way.

    I was just thinking I haven’t baked anything with zucchini yet! It was total fate that I should stumble upon these muffins. And yes, chocolate makes anything better! Love these Lyuba!

    These muffins sound delicious with or without the hot fudge sauce, although I personally love hot fudge sauce. What a great idea to take a simple zucchini muffin to a whole new level of goodness! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
