It’s peak season for zucchini and I have so many, I don’t know what to do with them all! For the next month, I will be having some sort of zucchini recipe everyday!! Luckily, this summer squash is super nutritious, offering lots of phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals! 
​

I am so excited to share this delicious Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffin recipe with you! It’s the perfect way to incorporate some vegetables without even knowing it. I’ve also included whole grains, coconut oil and Greek yogurt, making them a healthier option for an afternoon treat.
