Nutella Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins are perfect for afternoon breaks, after school snacks or even breakfast. Moist and light with a great chocolate flavour.
The end of summer harvest season brings a plethora of wonderful fruits and vegetables. Zucchini seems to flourish, and trying to find multiple ways to use it can become a challenge. These zucchini muffins will have your family asking for more. Talking about ways to use zucchini, have you tried zucchini burgers?
I don’t know about where you are located, but this summer zucchinis have been huge!! Seriously the hot, dry summer seemed to really help them grow. A co-worker gave one to my husband and it was so big. When I grated it down I got 12 cups. That will turn into a lot of muffins, brownies, zucchini bread, or whatever else I dream up.
After I baked these Nutella Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins, he took some into work as a thank you. It seems like they were a hit as they did not last long.
Zucchini is such a great ingredient to work with. You can use it in so many recipes both savoury and sweet. Eaten cooked or raw, freezes well, used in salads, soups, sauces, burgers, breads, cookies and cakes. The endless selection of recipes makes it fun to experiment with.
This large zucchini was grated with my food processor. Using this method, you can bag it and put it directly into the freezer. I measured out 2 cups per bag, the typical amount for most recipes.
Nutella is such a delicious ingredient to add to baking. I can just eat it off the spoon. Add some chocolate chips to the mix, and you have moist, chocolate hazelnut muffins, who can resist these?
Next time you have a zucchini or two, and you don’t know what to do with them, give these Nutella Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins a try. I guarantee your family will love them! BONUS: These muffins freeze well, so make a HUGE batch to enjoy at a later date!!

Well, all I can say is I can’t keep Nutella around the house because Hubby will eat it with a spoon – and I’m tempted to grab a few spoonfuls myself. This recipe is terrific — you can use your zucchini and add some delicious chocolate to it. It would be perfect for breakfast or for a snack!! YUM!! We’ll soon be getting lots of zucchini. YAY!
