Let’s talk about my favorite zucchini muffin recipe… I do love a good dessert, and I certainly indulge occasionally. But, on a daily basis I really like a treat that’s just a “little sweet” and will curb my sweet tooth.  Over the summer I made this decadent dark chocolate zucchini cake – and today this edited version is a sorta sweet zucchini muffin recipe, that’s good for every day snacking.
