Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line the muffin tins with muffin liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2
Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves in a large mixing bowl.
3
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, and buttermilk until fully combined. Add the shredded zucchini and stir in. Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the wet and stir just until the flour mixture is incorporated. Do not overmix!
4
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin(s), filling each cup (24 in total) about ¾ full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Squeeze Your Zucchini Dry 💧Grate zucchini and squeeze it firmly in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, preventing soggy muffins and ensuring proper texture and rise.
- Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫Mix cocoa powder with hot water or melted chocolate to create a smooth paste before adding to batter, eliminating lumps and intensifying chocolate flavor.
- Balance Your Spices Carefully 🌶️Add ground cloves and cinnamon gradually to taste rather than using full amounts immediately, as these warm spices can easily overpower the chocolate in small quantities.
- Room Temperature Eggs for Even Mixing 🥚Bring eggs to room temperature before mixing to ensure they incorporate smoothly with other ingredients, creating a more uniform batter and better rise.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips Last ✨Reserve chocolate chips and fold them in gently at the end of mixing to prevent over-stirring the batter and keep chips intact throughout the muffins.
