Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.75 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups zucchini grated
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a muffin tin.
  2. Squeeze the excess moisture from the grated zucchini with a clean towel.
  3. Whisk the flour, cocoa, sugar, and baking soda in a bowl.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the oil and eggs, then stir in the zucchini.
  5. Fold the wet into the dry until just combined, then add the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide among the cups and bake 20 to 22 minutes until set, then cool.

Notes

Squeezing the zucchini dry keeps the muffins from turning gummy.
