Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips over the tops of the muffins.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your zucchini is well-drained after grating to prevent soggy muffins.
  • You can substitute half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a different flavor.
  • These muffins freeze well for later enjoyment.
