I had lots of crookneck squash sitting on my counter waiting to be used, so I decided to make the zucchini bread recipe in the Xagave cookbook with the crookneck. My kids love the Costco chocolate muffins, so I decided I would also add some chocolate to make them happy. I didn’t want to wait 50 minutes for a bread to bake, so I made muffins instead.
The batter was more the consistency of a cake batter than a muffin batter – a little bit runny – but they baked up light and tender. As with many quick breads, they got more moist the longer they sat. I sprinkled chocolate chips on top to add to the chocolate taste. The kids did complain a little bit about the texture, but they gobbled up three each, so overall I’d say we all liked them.
Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
3 eggs, well beaten
1 1/3 cup Xagave
2 cups raw, grated zucchini (I used crookneck)
3 t. vanilla extract
1/2 cup canola oil
2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 t. salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325º. Combine eggs, oil, Xagave, squash, vanilla and mix well. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder together. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Divide batter into 24 muffin cups and sprinkle tops with chocolate chips. Bake approximately 20 minutes.

I think of using agave in my baking but I haven't been certain how much to put in.
These do look great with the yummy chips on top!
I love chocolate and zucchini. It's such a yummy combination.
I'd make these based on the picture alone – oh my word goodness!
Ooooh, I haven't had zucchini cake since I was a little kid. I like that you made it a chocolate cake.
I wanted to comment before but it doesn't work. Well, this recipe looks really yummy! I already copy to try it soon.
These look so scrumptious with all that chocolate in them! I love that their healthy too.
Yummy muffins , so chocolatey..and very healthy too..
I am loving the combination of the zucchini and chocolate. Of course I will have to add these to "the" list to try. I may substitute applesauce for the oil. I have been trying that lately and am having good results!
i've been seeing zucchini in a ton of recipes lately. these look particularly yummy though!
I've come across muffin recipes using zucchini but never tried making it. Looking at yours, I'm more encouraged to try now than before :D
I'm with Donna – I would feel less guilty eating extra ones! I lonve choc zucchini cake but mine is too huge. Muffins would be perfect and yours look so moist and chocolately!
Chocolate zucchini muffins are one of my absolute faves. I don't use agave syrup, but I bet these were wonderful!
Yum. These look really good! I have lots of zucchini "gifted" to me….
