Chocolate Zucchini Bread (or muffins)














Seriously, this is a totally acceptable options for breakfast.  It's full of zucchini.

2 C. flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
6 T. cocoa powder
1/2 C. oil
1 C. sugar
1/4 C. brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 C. grated zucchini
3/4 C. chocolate chips (minis disburse much better than regular size)

Topping:
2 T. brown sugar
2 T. white sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Combine oil, sugars, and eggs until slightly fluffy.  Add vanilla, zucchini, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and cocoa until mixed.  Stir in flour and chocolate chips.  Bake at 350 degrees in two 8-inch or 9-inch loaf pans for 50-60 minutes.  Sprinkle on the topping mid-way through baking.  Instead, I made muffins.  20-25 minutes at 350 degrees and I got about 30 muffins.  I ate 4.  That's totally healthy, right?

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

They look very pretty sitting here on the big plate.  I'd have a picture but "someone" broke my camera.

2 mashed bananas
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups flour (I used whole wheat because it's just yummier and better for you.)
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Mix bananas, milk, and egg together.  Add baking powder, sugar, flour, and chocolate chips, stirring just until combined.  Batter will be pretty thick.  Place into prepared muffin cups.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
