Chocolate Zucchini Muffin Cakes
I had a really good and productive day today! I made a batch of Chocolate Zucchini Muffin Cakes and thought I’d share my happiness. Anyone need a hug and a healthy sweet treat? All it takes is 30 minutes!
Here goes…
½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp. salt
1 egg
Mix all together in a bowl. I don’t bother with a mixer. I use a wooden spoon and mix by hand.
Add ½ tsp. vanilla
1 cup finely grated zucchini (about the equivalent of a medium zucchini peeled)
3 tbsp. sour cream
Blend gently incorporating all ingredients together.
Add 1cup flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup chocolate chips
When all mixed in, pour spoonfuls on a 12 count greased muffin pan. Bake about 15 – 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
Serve warm. Very moist and delicious!
May your hearts be warmed and your spirits re-kindled after a long day!

Re Zucchini:
I ate a chocolate zucchini once. I think it was around Easter time. I think it was a zucchini, anyway. Delicious! No, wait....now that I think about it, it wasn't a zucchini; it was ,um, something else. On second thought, that wasn't chocolate, either. Still, though, it was delicious!
Y'think your recipe would work with a zucchini replacement?
Y' don't care much for
Y' don't care much for zucchini? It's the zucchini that makes the muffin moist and gooey! I promise, you won't know it's loaded with z's if you don't like em.... you could probably replace with carrots but I doubt it'll be gooey yummy because carrots are dry compared to zucchini :-)
Rina, This recipe sounds
Rina,
This recipe sounds delicious. I’m definitely going to try it out—hopefully soon. Thanks! I’ve always wondered about unsalted butter. If I used salted butter, I could probably get away with a pinch of salt. Well, I’ll see how it goes.
Rina, These sound so good
Rina,
These sound so good that I want to make them right now! I may have to wait until the weekend.

Am reading your comments on The Call and yes, Amen! It's all interconnected in my case, Red Room - putting oneself out there and knowing there are like minded people who can relate to your journey, going meatless thus ways to create healthier sweet treats for myself so I can continue to indulge in a healthier way - small reward but great for the spirit!
