Zucchini-Chocolate Chip Muffins

Another wonderful find on allrecipes! These are really yummy and with the alterations I've made below - it sneaks in some healthy elements as well. We've gotten into a habit of having a muffin for Caelyn as a "come home from school snack" and these are a favorite for sure.
