Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate!!!

Is anything made of chocolate that does not taste good? I don’t think so!

Even if it has zucchini it will taste heavenly… If you don’t believe me ask Matthew! LOL.

Special Note: As you can see in my Instagram photo, I seriously suck at decorating cupcakes. I don’t know what is going on that they always look terrible. So much so, that I did not dare to put the frosting on the cupcakes for the main picture. I realized I just can’t be the baker, photographer and the cupcake decorator… so today I am presenting them naked.

I made this recipe to celebrate the end of the school year of Matthew. They were very tasty and the kids even noticed that they had zucchini.

These are the tricks that a mother has to do when having two super picky eaters.

This Egg- Free Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes recipe is an excellent alternative to regular chocolate cupcakes, certainly healthier and do not contain any egg. They are so easy to make that it only takes 5 minutes. No electric mixer or any other sophisticated equipment is required.

When I have tried them, I remember being impressed that I couldn’t taste the zucchini. Don’t get me wrong, I like the zucchini, but never thought I’d eat it mixed with chocolate and in the form of a cupcake.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup zucchini, grated
• 1/2 cup light taste olive oil

5. Frost cooled cupcakes with your favorite frosting.
