These really should be called cupcakes. Without the whole wheat flour and zucchini, I’m not sure that they have any redeeming qualities… except that they taste awesome. That counts for something, right?!
All I know is that my 3 year old son asked sweetly “Mom, when you can fix these again?” after his first bite, and my 6 year old drama queen was all “Oh my gosh! These have zucchini in them?! No way!” The almost-2 year old has eaten 57 since I made them 3 days ago…
Chocolate Pudding Zucchini Muffins
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 c. cooking oil
- 1 1/4 c. sugar
- 1 large package chocolate instant pudding
- 2 c. grated zucchini
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 c. unbleached flour
- 2 c. whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp. soda
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 c. chopped nuts (optional)
- Beat eggs, oil, sugar, pudding mix, vanilla and zucchini together.
- Blend dry ingredients and add to zucchini mixture; mix well.
- Scoop into greased muffin tins.
- Bake 17-20 minutes at 350°.
** Makes 2 1/2 dozen muffins. I made 2 dozen regular plus 1 dozen mini muffins.
** You could also grease two loaf pans and bake 1 hour at 350° for Chocolate Pudding Zucchini Bread.

Yum — these sound great. Maybe I’ll have to try them out sometime, especially with lots of zucchini in the garden (and a ton at the Farmers Market, if I really needed more).

Oh my. We love zucchini bread. We’ve never had it with chocolate pudding, though. This might be a very bad thing. We have a lot of zucchini this summer. Oh my.

I think zucchini is more than enough to redeem any dish. The chocolate pudding must make this muffin incredibly moist. Using veggies & fruits are one of the things I try to do with all of my baked goods…just adds a little healthy kick without taking away from the taste.

If I get any free zucchini I know what I am going to do with it! Plus my friend just gave us 10 boxes of extra pudding and we aren’t big on eating pudding alone-yum!

I have several zucchinis that I got at Aldis last go round. I’m definitely going to have to try this one.

These really look delicious. Choclate for flavor and zucchini to keep them moist. Love it!

I want to make these for my grandson who will not eat veggies but loves chocolate. They don’t have large boxes here so could I use 2 small. Also about how many from the recipe will I get.
Thanks in advance.

These are FANTASTIC! I made mine on the large side, to serve as breakfast-on-the-go. Definitely a great way to use some of the zucchini that is threatening to take over my garden/house. Thanks for sharing this!

Hi! I jumped over from Organizing Junkie. Thanks for the recipe! I’m wondering, do you by any chance have the nutritional information on these muffins?
