Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, beat eggs with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Stir in grated zucchini or carrots.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips gently.
Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and tender.Lightly pat grated vegetables dry, but keep some moisture for softness.Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
