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!

I followed the recipe like Mandave suggested adding 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cup apple sauce, then varied with 3/4 cup chocolate chips and used raw sugar instead of white sugar, used 2 1/2 cups of zucchini and 1/2 cup extra of flour. The mixture made 24 muffins. I will be making these again super moist and so delicious. BronwynReply
