Paleo Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

Hello there! It has been a while. I have a crazy life and have been on a bit of a hiatus from blogging.

I am back though!!! So I have decided to live a mostly paleo life since I last posted. I have really noticed a difference in the behavior of my children since cutting grains from there diet. Also a difference in the way I feel. Which works for me! The only problem is I love bread so I cheat sometimes and to me its OK as long as it isn't our day to day life. So with that being said I am always looking for creative ways to make my kids treats that they don't know are good for them! I am sneaky like that. So I made these this week to put in there lunch. I had to hide them because they devoured them!!! Which makes me HAPPY!
