It’s zucchini season, yo! How are you celebrating? Fritters? Pie? Pancakes? Chocolate Zucchini Banana Bread? I’m here for it. Muffins are my favorite thing to make for easy grab-and-go snacks during the week. Like before a workout when I have a hankering for something chocolatey. Or after dinner when I again, have a hankering for something chocolatey. Or for breakfast when, ya know. Chocolate.
I used to make Happy Herbivore’s Chocolate Zucchini Muffins alllll the time back in college. Such a staple! All I know is having a boatload of zucchini, ripe nanners, and whole wheat pastry flour on hand made it all just so meant to be. I knew I wanted them to have a bit less sugar, so why not nix the almond milk and applesauce and triple the banana? And since they’re oil-free, why not substitute some of the pastry flour for almond meal? Because…MOISTURE.

Helpful baking tools
I love this easy to clean muffin tin. I also have this one with a convenient lid for storage or transport! These silicone baking cups are a LIFE SAVOR. They make clean up a breeze. No more scrubbing the muffin tin! Muffin scoop for easy portioning. Genius two-sided measuring spoons that stay together in the drawer and take up less space.
How to Store and Freeze Muffins
Store muffins in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to two days, or in the refrigerator for up to five days. Freeze muffins for up to 3 months. I recommend freezing them on a lined baking sheet or plate and then once frozen, pop them into a freezer baggie. To reheat, microwave straight from the freezer until warm and enjoy!

When I took these beauties out of the oven, I was worried they wouldn’t be as good as the original. I worried they’d be too wet or too dry. OH NO. They were BETTER. I immediately texted my fiancé (ahhh, what a word!) and told him how I’d just laid mouth on the best muffin I had ever made. I told him he should hurry his hiney over here to try one while they were hot and melty. Really living my best life over here. I love that good food can take you to another place. Like music. Go ahead. Let these divine muffamillions take you to the moon! Print
