"My three girls love these moist, nut-topped cupcakes even without frosting," remarks Debra Forshee from Stockton, Kansas. "They're a great way to use up zucchini, and they freeze well for a quick snack."

An easy recipe to throw together that turns out tasting wonderful. A great way to use zucchini before it goes bad.

Fantastic! I left out the nuts as my family doesn't care for them and they are great!

These were very good, but not sweet enough for me. I would consider them more of a muffin then a cupcake.

We all loved these cupcakes! Our daughter's school is

nut-free, so rather than using the pecans on top, I sprinkled toffee bits on top before baking. Heavenly!!

Without the nuts these are like perfect little moist chocolate cakes, my kids had no idea there was zucchini in them. They are absolutely wonderful!
