Ingredients

  • 8 oz dark chocolate* (at least 60% cocoa content), roughly chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon*
  • 1⁄4 tsp salt
  • 1⁄2 cup sugar*
  • 2 eggs
  • 3⁄4 cup coconut oil*, softened
  • 1 cup finely grated zucchini
  • Confectioner’s sugar, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line 12 cupcake tins with paper or foil. In a double boiler over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate. Stir and keep warm.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut oil.
  4. Pour mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in the melted chocolate. Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
