WARNING! The following recipe for Triple Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are not healthy in any way, shape or form, but they certainly taste darn good. Sometimes a girl just needs a chocolate fix. And being there are three of us under one roof, it's bound to happen from time to time.

I don't usually keep sweets like cookies and candy in the house. So when the chocolate craving monster rears its ugly head, we have to think twice before getting in the car to go to the store to satisfy our cravings.

Triple Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
This time my oldest needed a chocolate fix the night before I made these and of course, we had nothing she wanted. So the next day while surfing Google+, I saw that Christie from Food Done Light made some Chocolate Zucchini Muffins.

Her muffins looked incredible; however, they were made "healthier" with flax seed, yogurt, and egg whites which I LOVED, but my kids, not so much. Every time I try to give them a healthier version of a dessert/sweet type item they cringe.

So I used my own zucchini bread recipe and tweaked it a little to make it extra chocolatey.

I have to say that I was shocked that they were only 205 calories each considering what went into these beauties, so even I indulged in a muffin or two over the course of their existence.

Which by the way, only lasted three days since I sent them into work for my nieces to enjoy as well and then the younger one and her friend devoured most of what was left during a sleepover. Enjoy!

    Just made these and they are fabulous! I substituted 1/2 the oil with 1/2 cup applesauce and replaced 1 cup of the all purpose flour with wheat flour too. I don't know how much healthier that makes them, but every little bit helps, right! Thanks, they turned out great!
