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.
