This is a great tasting recipe to use up zucchini and they freeze well. The recipe is from Taste of Home - the only change I made was to add more nuts

Provided by Ceezie

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 24 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup canola oil
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, oil and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; gradually add to creamed mixture. Fold in zucchini and chocolate chips.
  • Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Top with pecans. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the cupcakes bake evenly and don't overcook.
  • Use a box grater to shred the zucchini. This will help it blend into the batter more easily and evenly.
  • Be sure to drain the excess moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent the cupcakes from becoming too soggy.
  • Use a whisk to mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips last. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cupcakes.
  • Bake the cupcakes for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These zucchini chocolate chip cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist and fluffy, with a hint of chocolate and zucchini flavor. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a creamy and tangy flavor that complements the cupcakes perfectly.
