Courgette and Chocolate Muffins Recipe submitted by tosca100
Another way to use up the summer glut of courgettes. This quick and easy recipe makes about two dozen courgette and chocolate muffins.
You can use less cocoa and spices depending on your individual taste.
Putting chocolate chips on the top does make the muffins rather special.

Hi Val, I haven’t grown any courgettes this year but I have 4 marrow plants can I substitute these for the chocolate muffins. All the best. Mike smith
I can’t see why not.
Really good recipe making moist, slightly spicy muffins, didn’t have any coriander so omited it. However it only used up one courgette.
I added raspberries and they taste amazing! Great recipe xx
