Ingredients
-
1 ¾ cups packed brown sugar
-
3 eggs
-
1 cup vegetable oil
-
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 cups grated zucchini
-
1 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, divided
-
1 (16 ounce) container chocolate frosting
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins or line with paper liners.
-
Beat brown sugar and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 10 minutes. Blend in oil and melted chocolate.
-
Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; stir flour mixture into egg mixture until just blended. Stir in zucchini and 1/2 cup walnuts. Using an ice cream scoop, spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, 20 to 30 more minutes.
-
Spread frosting over cooled cupcakes and garnish with remaining walnuts.
Tips
Use pecans in place of walnuts if you like.
