Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 12-cup muffin pans with papers or coat with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, mix together zucchini, sugar, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Add to wet ingredients and stir until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Scoop batter into muffin cups, filling most of the way. If desired, sprinkle on extra mini chocolate chips. Bake 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool briefly, then remove from pans and cool completely on a rack.
