Author Notes

I found this Penzey's recipe in a pile of clippings I had saved forever when I was looking for something to do with left over zucchine. Being a dedicated chocaholic they sounded ideal. I did reduce the sugar a little bit. They were satisfyingly chocolate very moist and easy to make with ingredients usually on hand. —Latetotheparty

With Zucchini coming out of the garden and my ears I was anxious to try this recipe. Came out great!
Since we always have buttermilk I used that instead of milk and vinegar mix. Made small muffins for work group.
