Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups zucchini grated
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two muffin tins with cupcake liners (or spray the cups generously with cooking spray). Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine the oil, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix well. Gradually add to the butter mixture and beat on medium-low speed until just combined. Fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter between the prepared muffins cups. The batter will be thick and the cups should be 3/4 of the way full. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean. Serve warm!
Notes
- For a healthier version, replace a portion of the sugar with honey and reduce the amount of chocolate chips by half.
- The batter will be thick and this is 100% normal!
- Fill muffin liners three-quarters of the way full for best results.
- Top with extra chocolate chips before baking for an extra burst of chocolate.
