Sweet Zucchini Bites with Chocolate
Sweet Zucchini bites drizzled with chocolate are crunchy, sweet and soft.
Maybe summer is over already but you can still find zucchini at the store. I love adding vegetables to my baked goods. Zucchini adds so much moist to any baked goods. I know that I serve veggie to my children. They don’t even know it. Once I told them that I’m baking with vegetables and they didn’t even believe me. So it’s a plus for me.
I can bake with zucchini, sweet potato or pumpkin whenever I want.
In my Red Currant Zucchini Scones that I baked couple weeks ago; you couldn’t even notice that zucchini is inside. However, in these zucchini bites you can clearly see some green. I was worried that my children will see it. But obviously they didn’t even notice and ate lots of them.
These zucchini bites are crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. I drizzled them with some chocolate but this is optional. If you like some chocolate on top just make some. However, they are delicious even without the chocolate.
I also added some whole wheat flour but only all-purpose flour can be used if you prefer softer texture. They are very quick to prepare and bake very quickly. After 10 minutes of baking you can enjoy these zucchini bites.

I’ve never baked cookies with zucchini before, but I use it a lot in cooking. I wonder if you can taste the zucchini?
No you can’t taste the zucchini:) In some baked goodies you can’t even notice that zucchini is there, for example in these Red Currant Zucchini Scones

Zucchini meets chocolate? I love it! Thank you for sharing, Ilona! 🙂
Thanks Callie!
These sound delicious and would fit nicely into the British category of “buns”. I’ve also added beetroot, parsnips and even Jerusulum artichokes to my cakes – all with great success.
Wow, I have to try with beetroot, parsnip and artichokes. Great idea!
These look delicious. I use to make a zucchini bread but I lost the recipe in my move so this is great!!
