Time 45m

Yield 18 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons instant hot chocolate powder
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup olive oil
1 3/4 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour 18 muffin cups or use paper liners. Mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and hot chocolate mix. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, olive oil and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour milk and vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture, just until incorporated. Stir in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top of the cupcakes springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in pans over a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before removing from baking cups. They are really gooey when fresh from the oven.
