  I made these and they look and smell awesome. I added 1/2 c chocolate chips which adds 21 calories per muffin. However, I don't understand your nutritional info. I came up with 136 calories per muffin, 7 grams of fat, and 1 g fiber. Using applesauce for the oil, it's 86 cal, trace fat, 1 g fiber. - 3/22/09

  I cut the sugar down to 1/2 c, added 3 T mini chocolate chips, used WW flour and added a heaping teaspoon of instant coffee. I also used egg substitute. Instead of the oil I used 1/4 c unsweetened applesauce and 1/4 c plain nonfat Greek yogurt. They are moist and delicious! - 6/21/13

  I noticed in the nutrition information for the recipe that the oil is not accounted for - that would change fat stats significantly! - 9/6/10

  I am planning on using, but wanted to share that I usually replace oil with fat free plain/vanilla yogurt with much success. - 1/21/09

  I replaced the cream in a recipe for "cream scones" w/ fat-free vanilla yogurt and they were LOVELY but I've not tried it in my muffin recipe. If you try it, let me know how they turn out! I add veggies / fruit to make them more nutritious, of course -- even less fat would be great!

  These were awesome! I made them for "Sister Brunch" and they were a big hit! I hope to see that Gingerbread recipe soon... sounds delish!
  
  1/20/09: I was making these again and realized that the oil is not included in the nutrition info. These have 6 g more fat each than listed. - 1/11/09

  LOVE the idea of a "Sister Brunch!" I'll make another attempt at the gingerbread version. I'm also experimenting with carrots, apples and/or pears in place of the zucchini, like Carrot Spice or Apple Raisin or Ginger Pear...and if you come up w/ another variation, let me know!

  I have a problem giving this a good rating since the calorie and fat count are off. Even with using 1/2 C of splenda and only 1/4 C of sugar I come up with 120 calories. That is a big difference when you are watching your calorie intake on a daily bases. - 9/2/19

  I thought the calories seemed extra lo for this recipe considering the 1/2 cup of oil. When I checked the "calories by ingredient" I found that the oil is Not included. With the oil included these have 144 calories each. - 7/26/14

  O.K.
  
  These are NOT 92 calories. The oil is not accounted for. One half cup of oil is 963 calories and 109grams of fat. One muffin would then be an additional 53 calories and an extra 6 grams of fat. - 2/7/14

  It was a good recipe. Easy to make and had all ingredients on hand. Pleasantly surprised my young one liked them and the zucchini wasn't obvious. Not a lot of chocolate taste, but still yummy. - 9/23/13

  Incredible!
  
  I used the whole zucchini (skin & all) and substituted applesauce for oil (1:1 ratio); making them 2 weight watchers points each (zero point zucchini and applesauce not in the point calc). I added extra water 'cuz I was worried it was too thick, but there was no need; the recipe is spot on. - 8/18/13

  I made these and even used home made applesauce for half the oil. These were moist and decadent. My kids enjoyed them too! Thanks for the recipe - 7/4/13

  These are really good! You can substitute apple sauce for the oil. Next time I'll try some of the other ideas like using whole wheat and maybe stevia or something instead of sugar. - 8/25/12

  I substituted chia seeds for the eggs and 1/2 the oil for unsweetened applesauce & but I did add 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips and used Special Dark Cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder -YUMMY ! Not too sweet since I used just under the 3/4 cup of sugar :) I also used white whole wheat flour - 8/4/12

  I also added flaxseed, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, as well as some mini chips. Used half regular and half whole wheat, also half olive oil. Makes them very rich. I like lots of fiber. in a muffin. - 3/26/12

  Nice, dark chocolate, semi sweet muffins. Really good!
  I added some bran for extra fiber and aslo some pumpkin seeds, linseeds and a mix of dried cranberries and apricots.
  I also used wheat flour instead of white, and 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar. - 8/20/11

  Thank you! I'm continuing to adapt this recipe; my lastest is Zucchini Gingerbread. The molasses is a rather strong so the recipe needs work still, and I plan to kick up the spices.
