Looking for ways to use up all of the zucchini growing in your garden?! There are so many ways of turning this bounty from your garden into delicious meals and snacks but these muffins are the absolute best!! Zucchini is very mild in flavour and makes these muffins super moist! They so chocolatey and are packed with flavour. Not to mention they are insanely easy to make!!

You can also modify a few of the ingredients if you have preference, keeping the measurements the exact same.

2. In a separate bowl whisk the remaining ingredients together (milk, sugar, vanilla, cooking oil, eggs and grated zucchini).

3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula and mix in chocolate chips.
