This recipe is taken from Mrs. Gelowitz's personal collection.

On November 4th, our class made chocolate zuchinni muffins. They turned out surprisingly good, I usually don't like zuchinni so I didnt expect them to taste very good, but they were delicious. Everything went really well and I don't think we made any mistakes. We just had to make sure that we added all of the ingredients to make sure they would turn out how they should. I liked this recipe so much that I ended up making them at home on the weekend. The only thing I changed was that I didn't put as much ground cloves.
