Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

Zucchini muffins have been a long time favorite of mine since I was a kid. I remember growing up and my mom making Zucchini Bread around the holidays. She would wrap it up on decorative plates for the neighbors and I would always get so sad I wanted it all to myself.  I never wanted to share. These Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are a fun and easy rendition of my childhood favorite Zucchini Bread.

These Gluten Free Zucchini Muffins are topped with sweet crunchy candied pistachios. Packed with zucchini, chocolate chips, and are incredibly moist and fluffy. We used Namaste Foods Gluten Free No Sugar added muffin mix. I love using Namaste Foods mixes when I’m in a crunch or just craving a treat but want to cut out all the hard work and time to make it.
