Chocolate Courgette Muffins
An extra delicious way to use summer's bounty. For a less sweet muffin, feel free to decrease the sugar by half. For a tasty optional topping a combination of the following: equal parts dark brown soft sugar, chopped nuts and chocolate chips. Sprinkle tops of muffins just prior to baking.
