Instructions
Place a rack in the centre of your oven and preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Sift the cocoa and add it to the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, apple sauce, milk, egg and vanilla.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until well blended.
Add in the zucchini and the chocolate chips, mix until just combined. Don’t over-mix the batter or you will have tough muffins.
Evenly spoon the batter into the greased or paper-lined muffin cups.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the muffin comes out clean about 20 minutes.
Let the muffins cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes before removing them and placing onto a wire rack to cool.
