Mexican Chocolate-Chip Zucchini Muffins

"Cake-like yet moist muffins. I grate fresh zucchini and freeze it in two-cup batches and use the thawed zucchini (with all the liquid) when I make these. Lower in fat than some muffins - good for breakfast, lunch, snacks. Makes the equivalent of 2 dozen regular sized muffins."

directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray muffin cups or line with cup-cake liners and set aside.
  • In medium bowl measure and mix together the flour, cocoa powder, spices, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • In a large bowl beat together the eggs, canola oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and sugar.
  • Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips.
  • Add dry ingredients to egg mixture and stir just until all dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Fill muffin cups a little less than 2/3 full.
  • Bake regular sized muffins for about 25 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly pressed. Bake mini muffins 20 minutes. You might have enough dough left over for a small ramekin of muffin dough - bake it about 27 minutes.
  • Remove muffins from pan and cool on wire racks.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a retired grandma who loves to try new recipes. I also want to preserve some of our family's favorite recipes and some of the recipes I inherited from my Mother and Grandmother so my children will have them. I love to cook (but not everyday if I can help it) so I like to cook things that give us left-overs. Also, my hubby takes lunch to work five days a week, so I try to cook things that will heat-up in the microwave at his work. I love to knit, read, bird-watch, tinker in the garden and I am discovering old movies. I am quite fond of cats, and sometimes they appear in my recipes - but not as ingredients :-).<img img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpgsrc=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
