1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat together granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and milk.
4. Fold in the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients until evenly combined.
5. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
6. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
7. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
8. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
9. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter; stir just until the dry ingredients disappear.
Use parchment paper liners to prevent sticking.
You can freeze these muffins for up to 2 months for easy grab-and-go snacks.
