Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¾ cup egg substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
- Melt chocolate squares in a large microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, about 1 minute. Stir in zucchini, applesauce, egg substitute, and vanilla extract; beat well until combined.
- Mix sugar, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Add chocolate mixture; stir just until combined. Fold chocolate chips into the batter.
- Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
- You can line the mini muffin tins with paper liners instead of greasing with cooking spray if preferred.
- This can also be prepared as zucchini bread (makes 2 loaves). Bake for 60 to 70 minutes.
Reviews
This recipe made for very moist muffins! If I made again I would cut back on the sugar. I made 24 mini muffins, 12 regulars, and a small loaf of bread. Great for a crowd or to freeze ahead.
