Darn Good Zucchini Muffins with Chocolate Chips & Walnuts

When I found this recipe it came with just under 1,000 reviews, had 5 stars, and was written up as 'the only' Zucchini Muffins recipe you'll ever need. Wow, that's pretty hard to live up to! Naturally I was curious... So, I whipped up a batch, dropped some off for Ma, and took the rest to work. The verdict? Yep, we all loved them:@) The absolute only thing I changed, subbed half unsweetened applesauce for half of the oil. Other than that, followed the recipe to a T. Don't hide behind the curtains the next time the neighbor comes to the door with extra zucchini folks... I highly recommend giving these muffins a try!

Zucchini, dark chocolate, lemon, walnuts and cinnamon..

I'd call that a power food:@)

They do freeze beautifully too.
