Double Chocolate Zucchini MUFFINS
During zucchini season I make these muffins once a week, my kids and partner love them. I even store shredded zucchini in the freezer so I can make these over the winter.
Makes 24 muffins
1 ½ cup sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups finely grated zucchini
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Squeezed the shredded zucchini to release the water. Drain water from the zucchini. Place the zucchini in a large bowl. Add both sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well. In a separate smaller bowl mix with a fork the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and soda. Stir 1 cup of the flour mix into the zucchini using a rubber spatula. Continue until to add one cup at a time until no dry flour remains. Do not over mix in this step. Grease muffin pan with cook spray. Scoop muffin mix in about 2/3 of the muffin cup. Please in heated oven for 12-15 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.
