Yield 20 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Cupcake:
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup canola oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup dutch processed cocoa, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the frosting:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2/3 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two muffin pans with paper liners and set aside. 2. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, butter, and oil. Beat in eggs, one at a time until well incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract, buttermilk, zucchini, and chocolate chips. 3. In a separate large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients. Add the liquid ingredients and mix until well combined. Spoon batter into large muffin pans, filling them about 3/4 the way full. Bake in the center of the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool cupcakes on a wire rack, while you make the frosting. To make the frosting: 1. Melt the butter. Whisk in the cocoa powder, whisking until smooth. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla. Frost the cupcakes with the chocolate frosting. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Store cupcakes at room temperature in an air tight container. * Note-the frosting makes about 2 cups, you might have a little extra.

I made these cupcakes for a bake sale and they sold out in minutes. Everyone loved them! They were moist and chocolatey, and the cream cheese frosting was the perfect finishing touch.

These cupcakes were a disappointment. They were dry and the chocolate flavor was weak. The cream cheese frosting was also too sweet. I won't be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I loved these cupcakes. The zucchini flavor was very subtle and the cupcakes were moist and chocolatey. I will definitely be making these again.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. The cream cheese frosting was perfect, though.

OMG! These cupcakes were amazing. I made them for my kids' birthday party and they were a huge hit. The cupcakes were moist and chocolatey, and the cream cheese frosting was to die for.

These cupcakes are a great way to use up extra zucchini. They are also a healthier alternative to traditional chocolate cupcakes, since they are made with whole wheat flour and zucchini. They are so delicious, you won't even miss the refined sugar.

I was skeptical about using zucchini in cupcakes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cupcakes were delicious and the zucchini added a nice moistness. I will definitely be making these again.
