Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

GG and YoPapa have had a bumper crop of zucchinis this year and we have been searching for some new recipes to use them up.  Granny (Mom) found this one and tried it out today.  Super yummy plus a healthy dose of zucchini.  My kids ate them without any complaints or questions at all. . . well, except for the weirdo, Cash.

3 1/2 c white flour
1 c wheat flour
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 c oil
1 1/2 c milk
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 c shredded zucchini (this was about 2 medium to large zucchini - about the size of a typical cucumber)
1 1/2 c chocolate chips (semisweet)

Mix wet ingredients including sugar and zucchini.  Then in separate bowl mix all dry ingredients.  Add dry to wet and stir until just combined and then add chocolate chips.  Put in muffin liners filled almost full and bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes.  (Or 13-15 minutes for mini muffins.)

Yield:  about 40 standard muffins


These would also be good sprinkled with some sugar before baking but we forgot!
