I have never been much of a zucchini fan, so I thought I'd just incorporate it into some comfort food. Since zucchinis are in season and I had a couple handy, I thought, "How about chocolate zucchini cake?" It's been done many times before, but how about a pseudo-healthy muffin? Well, the zucchini is a versatile veggie...I used a cake recipe from this slashfood page and fiddled with it a little. Choco-zuke Cupcakes
- Cream 1/2 cup butter, 1//2 cup oil, 1 3/4 cups sugar until nice and creamy.
- Add two eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla, 2 cups shredded zucchini, 2 /1/2 cups flour, 5 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp soda, 1/2 tsp baking soda.
- Whip it all good. (Kids love the batter, but remember, there are raw eggs in it!)
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup walnuts and some chocolate chips over top.
- Put in cupcake paper or pans and bake at 325 for 45 mins (or until the are "done" based on your oven).
