Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate

  • 2 cups grated zucchini

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • ¾ cup egg substitute

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¾ (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 mini muffin tins with cooking spray.

  2. Melt chocolate squares in a large microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, about 1 minute. Stir in zucchini, applesauce, egg substitute, and vanilla extract; beat well until combined.

  3. Mix sugar, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Add chocolate mixture; stir just until combined. Fold chocolate chips into the batter.

  4. Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

You can line the mini muffin tins with paper liners instead of greasing with cooking spray if preferred.

This can also be prepared as zucchini bread (makes 2 loaves). Bake for 60 to 70 minutes.
