Pre-heat, stir,beat and stir. Four simple and easy steps are all you need  to do to have these Chocolate Zucchini Muffins. This is just one of the reason why you would want to make these muffins. Life is already hectic as it is, so why make it more complicated?

If being an easy recipe is not enough reason for you to make this muffin, how about if I tell you that this muffin taste so good, like seriously good! It’s soft, moist, loaded with chocolates and the most important thing, you wouldn’t be able to taste the zucchini in it at all. It’s like it doesn’t even exist, a ghost ingredient.

I have to admit that I was one of those people who raised my eyebrows the first time I saw a bake product recipe that uses zucchini. In my mind, vegetable like zucchini does not mix with bake products. I like to eat it with savory meals, or in a salad or pasta but not in bread, cake of muffins. That was a long time ago, I am a change woman now and a lover of zucchini in bake goodies. I am glad I convinced myself to try making it because I ended up liking it.

Zucchini even on its raw form, or when used in pasta or salad doesn’t have any taste unless you season it. It does have a lot of water and no taste what so ever, it’s just like cucumber. This is why mixing it in bake products doesn’t affect the taste, what it gave the muffin is additional moisture, making the muffin moist, soft and compact just a good muffin should be.

Chocolate ganache is optional, but I wouldn’t skip it if you can. There’s nothing like Chocolate Zucchini Muffin with chocolate ganache. The decadent chocolate really made the muffin so good specially when it’s still warm. Oh it literally melts in your mouth, super chocolate heavenly treat!  I hope I gave you enough reasons to give it a try. Go ahead eat your veggie and enjoy the muffins too! Let’s get started!
