    I made zucchini bread with it, and you can't even tell its made with whole wheat flour. Not spongey like some low calorie breads, and very chocolately! - 7/24/10

    I am so glad you like it! I am making a batch today, as I am working on losing my baby weight for the 5th time! (last baby for sure!)

    I thought these were really good. I don't know if it's because there is no oil, but when using cupcake papers the muffin stuck to the papers and I lost a lot of the muffin trying to separate them. I guess that just means you eat less :) I made both muffins and a loaf, so I liked the loaf better - 7/15/12

    Yummy! And my kids are eating zucchini! I did make a few adjustments, I used vanilla Greek yogurt and cut the sugar to 1/2c. of raw sugar. I also added some ground flax and a bit of water. They turned out great...they are big and filling at 136 calories. Thanks!! - 8/6/11

    Yes, they are well delicious! Moist! I did have to add an extra half a cup of yogurt to make the dough more mixable. Next time, I would put extra choc. chips and walnuts. - 2/4/13

    Thanks for this wonderful and delish recipe. It usually makes about 18 large muffins (so fewer calories per muffin) for me. So I've shared them with friends who love them as much as I do. Four of them have asked me for the recipe. - 9/28/12

    Omg!!! Delish! Made it as a bread not muffins and so incredible and moist. I couldn't wait for it to cool and had to dive right in as soon as it was cool enough to remove from the pan. My only modification was that I only used a few (15-20) chocolate chips for appearance, rather a full 1/3 c. - 9/18/12

    I made these today for the first time. I followed the directions to the letter except I subbed splenda for the sugar. They were really hard to mix and gluey. And maybe I didnt shred my zucchini fine enough. But they were surprisingly tasty despite how they looked. Would def do in a pinch! - 9/11/12

    I made these today and they are delicious! Super moist and chocolatey. Texture is a little funky due to the zucchini, but that doesn't bother me at all. I used Greek yogurt and 2 eggs - will try making with Splenda next time to save some calories. YUM! - 9/11/12

    I didn't have enough yogurt so I put half fat free milk and I used Splenda. I also used swirl chocolate chips and incorporated them into the batter. I also doubled the recipie so I could take it to my son't school for class snack. They came out yummy. - 9/5/12

    I just made these. They're pretty good, especially considering that they're made only with whole wheat flour. I mixed 1/2 cup regular-sized chocolate chips into the batter, and I'm glad that I did. They would be quite bland without the chocolate chips. - 8/11/12

    Very yummy! Not sure why, but this recipe made 18 full size muffins for me. Maybe because I used cupcake liners? That's okay by me--I don't mind adjusting that calorie count down by a third. :) - 7/14/12

    These are tasty enough that my kids asked for more. My only complaint is that the recipe calls for sugar, but the calories are calculated using Splenda. Using sugar adds nearly 50 calories per muffin. - 5/30/12

    Reply from CASEYNJASON (6/15/12)
    Oops, you are right! I sometimes use splenda and sometimes I use sugar, so I just miscalculated there. I am going more natural with my food lately, so I am trying it out with raw sugar today.

    This is my new favorite chocolate dessert...you don't feel deprived of any chocolate, and the muffins are HUGE! I am glad I doubled the recipe when I made these...they won't last long! I did use sugar instead of splenda as someone else pointed out, and might have put a few more morsels in..... :) - 1/3/12

    These are very good. The zucchini adds a refreshing flavor to the muffins and keeps them moist for days. I will definitely make these again. - 10/23/11

    These muffins are AWESOME!! I was looking for an alternative to zucchini bread - my recipe is good, but loaded with fat and calories. These muffins are delicious and guilt-free! I've made 5 batches in the last few weeks, and everyone that tries them raves about how good they are. - 9/14/11

    The nutritional information is very misleading. The recipe calls for sugar, but the nutritional information is calculated using zero calorie splenda. I made it with sugar, and no chocolate chips, and it's roughly the same calories. But the muffins aren't great. - 8/30/11

    These were pretty good but - I only put 1/2 cup of sugar (+ 2 tbs)....and it really did need that extra sweetness. Fortunately I put milk chocolate chips on top so that did help. They are a nice texture. Next time, I'm adding coconut milk and topping them with coconut and chips. Should help. - 8/24/11

    This recipe is great. I substituted Splenda for the sugar and added some unsweetened applesauce. I broke up one of the muffins and toppped with fresh strawberries and fat free cool whip for a nice summer dessert! - 8/18/11

    This made 18 cupcake size muffins. The smaller size muffins were done in 10 minutes in my oven. I used honey instead of sugar. Delicious! - 8/3/11
