These muffins are healthy, low in sugar, moist and incredibly dreamy. One bite and you would never even know that these are made with vegetables!

Zucchini is one of those green vegetables that makes for a perfect addition to sweet treats. If you’re looking to get those greens in, yet have a hard time choking down the bland flavor of a green vegetable, these Vegan Double Chocolate Zucchini Love Muffins are here to save the day! These are perfect for adults and children.

There are two positives that I love about adding shredded zucchini to this baked sweet treat:

• Since zucchini has a soft dull flavor, it pairs perfectly when added to chocolate. It doesn’t add any additional flavors or odd textures to the muffin, so it’s as if it is not even there! No one would ever know if you didn’t tell them. Hence, perfect for kids or even stubborn adults who hate consuming vegetables.
• When the shredded zucchini gets added to a baked good it helps keep the baked good moist without needing to add any extra unnecessary oils or fats. So, in turn it also makes them healthier from that aspect. You cut down on oils and fats and add in a vegetable! Who would have thought!?

I made these one time back when we were stuck and quarantined at home at the beginning of COVID. My Husband fell in love with them and as cruel as this may seem, I never made them again. Why? I don’t know. Ha. He asked me countless times to make them again and I never thought that they would become such a hit. So, I tried the recipe again with some minor adjustments to make them Vegan and I had a few more people try them. Before I knew it everyone became obsessed! So, here we are. I thought that since everyone loved them so much and love is in the air they would be the perfect Valentine’s Day sweet treat. But, keep in mind, these are also amazing at any time of the year!

One thing I especially love about these is that you can have 1 or you can have 3 without the guilt! These are completely vegan, so they are dairy free. They are made with zucchini and half of the flour is made up of almond flour. Plus, I’ve included whole flaxseeds which contain an abundance of health benefits! So, although these contain double the amount of chocolate, they are still rated healthy in my book!
