These healthy, sugar-free zucchini breakfast muffins are the softest, moistest, and most delicious I've ever had. The optional brown sugar topping gives them a great crunch. They can even be turned paleo with a few substitutions. Seriously, they're so good that I created an Allrecipes account just to share them.

A fellow yogi has given up chocolate for Lent so I made these without cocoa powder. Even though something isn't legally chocolate unless it has cocoa butter in it, she'd have none of my good eats. I'll show her!
