Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Place your grated zucchini in a food processor and process until mashed and smooth.

Pour the zucchini in a bowl and add the eggs, applesauce, oil, vanilla extract and stevia and stir to combine.

In another bowl stir together all the dry ingredients saving one tablespoon of flour for chocolate chips.

In a small bowl mix 1 tbsp flour with the chocolate chips. Set aside.

Combine the wet with the dry ingredients and stir well.

Add the chocolate chips. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or use cupcake liners. Makes 18.

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick in center comes out clean. Allow to cool before adding frosting.
