With all the great summer produce that is still showing up at farmer’s markets, there is plenty of zucchinis out there just looking to be made into something delicious. And what better than adding it to some chocolatey goodness!
With the Toronto International Film Festival in full force right now, these muffins are perfect for me to grab in the morning on my way out the door.

I don’t normally show a picture of my butt, but I couldn’t resist sharing this picture that my friend took while I was cooking. Cocoa hand prints from wiping my hands while making muffins. I would like to say this isn’t a normal occurrence, but it happens all the time. I never remember to wear an apron or use a towel 🙂
Oh my gosh, I want one of these right now! Can you come to Kingston and bake for me??
Yummy!! Looks super moist!! I love that there’s chocolate in it and your step by step pictures are great!
