A random act of kindness is good (paying it forward in the coffee line), but in real life interaction is even better.

Chocolate Muffins Baking Tips

Muffins are the perfect food item to bring or share with others (and yummy for back to school)!

Don’t forget to squeeze the water out of the zucchini when you make these.

Add your favorite nuts. (We love walnuts, but I didn’t include nuts in this recipe because I wasn’t sure of dietary needs.) I also used gluten-free oats and flour!

Bake and serve! Oh, and frost if you want (mm-m-m … maple frosting)!
