Double Chocolate Squash Muffins

Double Chocolate Squash Muffins

Double Chocolate Squash Muffins

  My garden is producing an abundance of squash lately so I’ve had to come up with a few creative ways to use it up. Why is it that there are so many recipes for baking with zucchini, but so few for summer squash??

   It really is strange to me that zucchini in bread is such a normal thing, but you hardly ever hear of summer squash the same way?? Anyway, I found this delicious recipe on Pinterest and have adapted it to share with you today.

  These Double Chocolate Squash Muffins are hands down the best way to eat a vegetable. They seriously taste like a brownie. YUM! I hope you enjoy.

 

How to Make Double Chocolate Squash Muffins:

makes 12 muffins

Preheat oven to 350. Grease muffin tin.

Squeeze excess moisture from squash.

In mixing bowl, combine oil, sugars and vanilla.

Mix in eggs and squash.

In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Pour into greased muffin tin.

Bake for 20 minutes.

    Can't wait to try these muffins. They look so beautiful and dark. You said to grease the tins, can I use paper muffin liners instead?

    You can substitute yellow squash for zucchini in any recipe. They are interchangeable.

    Does the squash need to be cooked before mixing it in?

    These are one of the best muffins ever. Very moist and full of chocolate flavor. In the directions, can you add where to add the cocoa powder? It makes sense to add it to the flour and other dry ingredients, but it is not listed in the directions. Excellent recipe and will make again now that the squash are in the garden. Thanks.

    A 1/2 cup of cocoa powder isn’t going to produce muffins that dark. Did you do anything additional to the ones in your pic?

      Christie, That is what I thought too. But I followed recipe exactly. They did come out dark and delicious. Only wish I had doubled it.

    Great recipe! Kids loved it. Didn't have chocolate chips, so I left them out and they are still fantastic. Thanks!

    I made these a couple of months ago and then froze a couple of batches. Wow just took them out thawed and then kept in the fridge, they are even better we think. This recipe is outstanding!

    I made these last night and they are absolutely delicious! I did not have chocolate chips so added walnuts instead. I also used paper liners and it worked great. I did not think 20 mins would be long enough but it was. The muffins came out moist but cooked. Thank you for the recipe.

    Hi. Trying these out today. I noticed you had the cocoa powder in your ingredients listing but don’t mention it in the actual recipe directions. I put it in with the flour 🙏🏻

      Thanks for letting me know! I'll get that fixed. I think you could put it in with either the wet or the dry ingredients without any troubles.
