Double chocolate baked donuts hiding shredded zucchini and topped with a white chocolate drizzle.
Guys, I think I've found the secret to growing a successful garden.
Ignore it.
No looking for bugs.
Water it as little as possible.
Don't pull any weeds.
My experience this summer has shown me that negligence will be rewarded with not one, but two giant honking zucchinis.
When I say 2 zucchinis, you might not think that's very much. But these were 'giant honking zucchinis', as long as an egg carton and thicker than my arm!
Photos to come.

They took up so much room in the fridge that I have been trying to use them up ASAP.
First up...triple chocolate zucchini donuts.
Because there's nothing wrong with sneaking some veggies in with your chocolate, right?
Not just one type of chocolate.
Three.
These donuts are so moist and rich and chocolatey you will completely forget that there is any zucchini present.
You will only need one bowl and one spoon...no mixer necessary!
The batter comes together in, oh, 15 minutes. Bake for 9 minutes. That's a total of 24 minutes to chocolate-zucchini heaven.
And if you don't have a donut pan, these are easily converted into cupcakes.
Alright, alright! Here is the recipe.
