Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 zucchini peeled and shredded (about 1 cup)
- ⅓ cup butter ⅔ stick, unsalted
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count cupcake tin with paper liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and stir together. Set the bowl aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the zucchini, butter, milk, egg, and vanilla. Mix at low-to-medium speed until all ingredients begin to combine together.
- Add in the dry ingredients to the wet and continue mixing until it becomes a creamy batter.
- Evenly fill the prepared liners, filling until they are about ⅔ full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, using a toothpick, insert into the cupcake to test if they are baked. (Toothpick will come out clean)
- Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack or counter.
- Frost with your favorite frosting (we love this Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe) and serve!
