Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes

Mmmmmm. REcipe comes from a mag.

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 20

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups brown sugar
• 1⁄4 cup  melted butter
• 3⁄4 cup  vegetable oil
• 3  eggs
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 cup buttermilk
• 2  cups  grated zucchini
• 1  cup chocolate chips
• 2  cups unbleached flour
• 1  cup  cocoa, sifted
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2  teaspoons baking soda
• 1  teaspoon allspice
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease large muffin pans and line with muffin cups.
2. In a medium bowl mix together the sugar, butter and oil. Beat in eggs, one at a time until well Incorporated. Stir in vanilla, buttermilk, zucchini and chocolate chips.
3. In a separate bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients. Add the liquid ingredients and mix until well combined. Spoon batter into large muffin pans. Bake in the center of the oven for about 35 minutes.
4. Cool on a wire rack, while preparing the icing (I made these without the icing).
5. Don't overcook them or you will lose all the moist goodness - you want them to look almost done in the oven - they will continue to cook for a few minutes after you pull them from the oven from the residual heat.
