I made these for my son's 5th birthday party and they were a hit. It was great to know that they were eating their veggies and never suspected a thing.

I loved this recipe, and my grandparents who don't really care for chocolate enjoyed it as well... my children loved it the most though! I will be adapting this recipe to gluten free though today, so I will post the recipe if it works!

When I made these I was planning to cover the tops with my favorite chocolate buttercream frosting so my children would not see the zucchini at the top of the muffins. I never got the chance because they gobbled them up. I still can't believe how much they love these.

I was excited to see such rave reviews on this cupcake because I've been meaning to get rid of the giant zucchini I grew in my garden for a couple of weeks. I made everything as the recipe told and they turned out nothing like I thought they would. They were rubbery bricks of light-chocolate lumps. They tasted like a chocolate morning glory muffin, which I do not appreciate, but I'm certain many people do. If anything, I'd say mix in the carrots and zucchini, not fold in, because it just doesn't pay to have a hot chunk of zucchini stuck in your teeth."

I made this in a 9 x 13 dish and then frosted it with my own chocolate buttercream frosting. Wonderful - you'd never know there were zucchini and carrots in it!!
