How to Make Triple Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups or grease generously with non-stick spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or rolled oats), ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup honey, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup grated zucchini, ½ cup protein powder.
  5. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well.
  6. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in 1 cup mini chocolate chips.
  8. Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.
  9. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
