This recipe is taken from Mrs. Gelowitz's personal collection.

One thing that went well with making the chocolate zucchini muffins was the taste. They tasted delicious, Just the right amount of chocolate chips and baking time. One thing that went not so well was when we making them we didn’t have all of our ingredients out and ready to use when we were baking the muffins so we were always going back and forth to the table and out kitchen for our ingredients.  If I was to make this recipe again I would use less zucchini because I personally do not like when I can take out the pieces of zucchini in my muffin.
