Triple Chocolate Zucchini Loaf, or Muffins

Submitted by valandsnoopy

"I have tried many chocolate zucchini recipes, but this one, with 3 sources of chocolate, is the most delicious! The sour cream makes it a very moist loaf, and best of all, it is super easy to make! This recipe can easily be made into muffins (picture), by spooning batter into greased muffin tins, and baking for 25 minutes."
