Chocolate Filled Courgette and Oats Cakes

I have made and eaten courgette cakes many times, always loved how soft they always turn out. Sunday mood was to have something like that but bit of chocolate too, so combine the two and what you get Chocolate filled Courgette Cakes…I like to experiment with food and flavours, I am not afraid of failing…lol

But I didn’t fail today, these cakes turned out as expected moist and soft and melting chocolate was just to die for, don’t take my words for it, try for yourselves :).

They will make a great snack and healthy one too. But I had them in breakfast, instead of pancakes, like usually have on sunday morning.

20 g dark chocolate chunks
Pinch of baking powder and baking soda
