15 Creative Zucchini Recipes That are NOT Bread

From moist muffins to flavorful & fresh dinner ideas to pies & tarts, put that overabundance of garden zucchini to good use with these 15 Creative Zucchini Recipes That are NOT Bread...

I don't know about you all, but my Facebook feed has been filled with friends & family posting pics of their very generous bounties from their home gardens lately. And these homegrown bounties almost always include a ridiculous amount of zucchini with an offer that they also happen to be free to good homes. ;) Now I like a good, garden grown zucchini as much as the next girl, but you can only bake so many loaves of zucchini bread in a month- am I right?

That is why I made it my mission to go out & search for some of the most creative zucchini recipes out there from a few of my favorite food bloggers. My only requirement? No bread recipes. In fact, I went looking for zucchini recipes that were anything but bread recipes.

I gathered up 15 of the most unique & creative zucchini recipes I could find. Everything from moist muffins to flavorful & fresh dinner ideas to pies & tarts. 

So forget the zucchini bread this week, and try one of these tasty zucchini recipes instead...

Chocolate Zucchini Banana Bread Muffins

These super moist & dense Chocolate Zucchini Banana Bread Muffins are the perfect way to use up that summer zucchini...

I think by now you all know how much I love sneaking hidden veggies into the meals & sweet treats that I serve to my unsuspecting family. ;) I mean, it really isn't necessary for me to hide the healthy green stuff from my 5 year old daughter- she loves all the veggies. 

In fact, she spent her own money to buy fresh beets from the local farmers market last weekend. So nope, it is not the youngest that I have to hide the vegetables from as many would assume. 

It is my adult husband & my grown son who turn up their noses at most anything green or leafy.

So what to do I do? I stoop to stuffing those vegetables into decadent, chocolaty treats like these Chocolate Zucchini Banana Bread Muffins I am sharing with you all today. And no one is the wiser (well, except for my daughter who helped me bake these ;) ).
