CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I found this recipe on Allrecipes. It is so delicious! Perhaps not for those on a low-fat diet, but all in all, pretty good for you. Moist, chocolate-y and so good. My husband hates zucchini, but he will eat these. Prep time does not include shredding zucchini. At the advice of a reviewer, I am posting this note. If you find that the cocoa will clump if you mix it with the vanilla and zucchini, you can add it instead with the flour and other dry ingredients. Enjoy!

- Mix the mashed avocado, milk, oil, egg, sugars and vanilla until very smooth. Stir in the grated zucchini.
- Sift over the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and mix just until combined. Divide the batter into the muffin tin and scatter the top of each with chocolate chips.
- Bake the muffins until they bounce back when touched or a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes.
- Remove the muffins from the tin to cool completely. The muffins will keep at room temperature for up to 4 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Tips:
- Use ripe zucchini. This will ensure that your muffins are moist and flavorful.
- Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
