"SNEAKY" CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CUPCAKES KIDS LOVE



These little gems look like a bite of chocolate heaven - even to ME!! I KNOW they will satisfy my little guy - who is on an anti-veggie kick at the moment.

Get 'em in there any way you can Mommy....until they get over the YUCK phase. THIS TOO SHALL PASS! And with these cupcakes, it looks like our secret is safe!!

SNEAKY MOMMY'S CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE



Sneaky Mommy's Chocolate Zucchini Cake image

I've taken my old chocolate zucchini cake recipe, cut out almost all of the bad stuff and loaded it up with so many fruits and vegetables that it's more like a baked salad than a cake. The funny thing is that it turned out so moist and tasty that you'll find yourself fighting with the kids for the last piece. Try it once and you'll be a believer too!
