These Chocolate Vegan Zucchini Muffins are melt-in-the-mouth delicious! They're easy to make, moist, and of course super chocolatey. We're all looking for ways to use up our glut of zucchini/courgette, and doesn't it just make you jump for joy when you hear you can make sweet treats from them?
These muffins are the perfect treat for entertaining, as they stack up so beautifully!
Ingredients
The ingredients for these delicious chocolate vegan zucchini muffins you may have in your cupboard already. The key ingredients I want to mention are:
Cocoa/Cacao - this is the part of the muffins that makes them chocolatey! Cacao(affiliate link) is the purest form of chocolate, with lots of antioxidants. You'll more commonly find cocoa which is also great.
Vegan Chocolate Chips - these take your vegan zucchini chocolate muffins to the next level, and help make them melt-in-the-mouth delicious, especially if you eat them warm. Double-check the packet to make sure the chocolate chips(affiliate link) are vegan. You can also just chop up a bar of vegan chocolate! I often prefer this option as it's much easier to get high-quality chocolate bars (affiliate link) than to get high-quality chocolate chips.

FAQs
Can I freeze these vegan zucchini muffins?
Yes! They freeze very well, like most vegan cakes.
How long will they stay fresh for?
As they have zucchini/courgette in them, the vegan muffins won't last as long as other cakes. So store them in the fridge if you're not eating them in 1-2 days. You can always heat them up a little before you eat them if you don't want them cold.
What if I don't have chocolate chips or want to use something else?
Chocolate chips are yummy, but you can leave them out if you want. Feel free to add something like nuts or seeds instead, or even dried fruit!
