This is a fantastic way to use up zucchini. I make mini-muffins, as opposed to full-sized, and my kids (and husband) eat them up! My changes: a dash of nutmeg, dash of ginger, dash of cloves. A 4oz cup of applesauce with a splash of oil to complete the 1/2 cup and brown sugar instead of white.

My very picky 3 year old loves these. Ask for them all the time now

I followed some other reviewers and used 1/4 cup oil and 1/2 applesauce. The muffins were very moist and flavorful, loved them. I realized all my choc chips were gone after I'd started the recipe, so I used white Choc chips instead, and they tasted great. I bet butterscotch would be nice with the light cinnamon flavor as well. Great recipe, thanks!

These muffins are delicious!! I took some of the other suggestions. I doubled the chocolate chips and added a shredded, peeled apple with the zucchini. I did not have mini choc. chips, but regular worked just fine. For added fibre, I used half whole wheat flour. I only added half the oil - still very moist! I don't like nuts in muffins, so left them out. I doubled the recipe and it made 18 large muffins. Note: the batter is VERY thick, but once the zucchini is added, is perfect. Thanks for a great recipe!

Wow, wow, wow, wow... Did I say WOW?! I made these for the daughter of a family I nanny for who will barely eat veggies. This sounded like the perfect way to sneak some in. After making 12 muffins, I had enough to fill a small ramekin and make a giant muffin that I thought about keeping for myself. After one bite, I wanted nothing more than to take the other 12 home myself! Only changes: I used 1/2 c whole wheat flour, 1/4 c applesauce, and 1/4 c veg oil. The only thing I didn't do that I'll do next time is peel the zucchini before shredding, therefore making the zucchini completely invisible. Overall, this is the best muffin recipe on this site!

I have made this recipe several time now. My daughter, who will eat nothing green, asks for these muffins! She even grates the zucchini to go into them. I have made them with all the oil and half oil and hald applesauce -- both are great, can't really tell a difference.

So easy and SO delicious! I did what other reviewers did and used double the chocolate chips. I also grated an apple and put it in. Gave it a little more flavor. Very moist. mmmmmmm

These are great! I used half oil/applesauce and some whole wheat flour and a sprinkle of wheat germ. Yum!

I loved these muffins! I'm sure the full amount of sugar would have been great, but I'm trying to cut back, so I only used 1/2 cup sugar and they were still great! I used 1/4 cup grapeseed oil and 1/4 cup applesauce in place of the vegetable oil, and I used whole wheat pastry flour. My kids and husband also loved these muffins.

My family loves these muffins. I make them often. The last time I made them, I grated 2 apples and added them to the batter. The muffins came out incredibly moist and sweet. My son loved them so much he insisted that I post it.

The second time I made this, I liked it much better. I don't know if I didn't cook it long enough, or what. I do know that the second time I followed the recipe the way it was (plus extra choc chips) and the first time I did half oil and half applesauce... but I don't know if that was what made the difference.

These are SO yummy! I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of white, 1/4 C applesauce plus 1/4 C melted butter instead of 1/2 C oil, 2/3 C sucanat instead of 3/4 C white sugar, and pecans instead of walnuts. They were very moist and flavorful. It made 12 muffins (I filled the cups all the way though because whole wheat doesn't rise very well), and they were almost all gone in 1 night.

WOW I loved these muffins. So moist and just really tasty!

these are really good i used wheat flour to make it healther but they were awesome and everybory liked them!! thanks for the awesome recipe

Absolutely delicious! We followed the recipe to the letter except... egg yolk only, no egg white due to allergy. No nuts (my son is allergic to those too), so I used double the chocolate chips instead. The kids, me and Grandma all love these muffins!

These were fantastic muffins! I love zucchini bread and wanted something that could hold up better than sliced bread. I followed the recipe exactly except to add a bit more chocolate chips. If you try this recipe, please keep in mind that you can taste zucchini, it is not like a regular choc. chip muffin! My kids did notice a difference, but I will keep trying to persuade them to eat! I plan on making this over and over again!

LOVED IT! I used half braown half white sugar! AND I tossed in a little ground cloves and nutmeg..REALLY yummy! Doubled recipe = 15 texas muffins.
