Breakfasts just got a whole lot more exciting.  These chocolate chip zucchini muffins are perfect for a breakfast that you can make over the weekend and eat during the chaotic weekdays.  

Easy, delicious and chocolately  are the best way to describe these wonderful muffins.  This recipe is 5 Freestyle points per serving, 1 muffin.

Who doesn’t have a lot of time in the mornings to make breakfast?  Or are you one of those people who believe they will lose weight if they don’t eat breakfast?  

These muffins (and a bunch of other muffins) can be made on Sunday afternoon and are ready for a quick grab and go breakfast recipe.

I love that you can prep these ahead of time and just grab them and go in the mornings.  

You could even pop them in the microwave to warm them up a little bit before you head out the door (I recommend doing this).  They are so wonderful and so easy to throw together.

If you aren’t a fan of chocolate chips or zucchini, you might like this banana nut muffin, or these skinny french toast muffins. I also suggest trying this top 5 dessert round up if you need inspiration.

When you have a great chocolate chip zucchini bread recipe, and get requests to adapt it into muffins, you listen.  

These muffins were created because of the requests I kept getting from you guys on making the loaf recipe into muffins.

I did make some adjustments to the loaf recipe to make these perfect for muffins, but they are similar.  I mean, why mess up a good thing, right?

One thing I didn’t change was that these muffins also have no added sugar in them.  The chocolate chips add plenty of sweetness, as does the maple syrup. Kids love these muffins too.

Why don’t you try these for yourself?

What are your go-to quick grab and go breakfast items?
