Chocolate Zuchinni Muffins

I found this recipe on the "For the Love of Cooking" blog and thought they looked awesome! Well, I was correct, they are so delicious and such a great way to use those excess zuchinni from the garden! A little bit on the "healthier" side with half whole wheat flour and zuchinni. Try them, you'll love them:-)

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmet
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup zuchinni, shredded
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

- Preheat overn to 350 degrees. Coat muffing tray with cooking spray (or use muffin cups).
- Combine flours, sugar, baking soda, salt, baking posder, cocoa, cinnamon and nutmeg in large bowl and mix thoroughly.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Add shredded zuchinni and stir. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined then add chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tray, filling each cup to the top.
- Bake in overn for 17-20 minutes or until tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let muffing cool before serving. Enjoy!
