Ingredients
- 1 cup finely grated zucchini (about one small-medium squash)
- 1 can (15 oz) pureed pumpkin
- 1 Box Devil's Food Cake Mix
- 2 large eggs or 2 flax eggs (see notes)
- ¾ cup chopped baking walnuts plus extra for topping (optional)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prep a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Coarsely grate your zucchini with a box grater, gather into a pile, and chop into teeny pieces.
- Pat/squeeze dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
- Next pour your cake mix in a large bowl (make sure you use chocolate cake mix) and add your can of pumpkin, eggs (or flax eggs), and zucchini.
- Stir until just moistened, then fold in your chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Annnd you're done!
- Pour batter into paper lined muffin tins or foil loaf pans spritzed with a little oil and fill each a little over half-way. Recipe should yield approx. 18-20 muffins.
- Bake at 350°F for 25-28 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center to test for a fluffy fully-cooked center. Bake times may vary from oven to oven based on calibration/temperament.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Faceplant.
Notes
- To make flax eggs instead of regular eggs, simply scoop 2 TBSP of ground flax into a small bowl and add 6 TBSP of water, whisking to combine.
- flax eggs
- Place in the fridge for a minimum of 15-20 minutes. When you remove the "eggs" from the fridge, stir gently with a fork. Once it reaches an eggy consistency you're good to go!
