Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

Yes, I know.  I already posted a recipe for chocolate zucchini cake.  But we've got squash everywhere, and my son really, really likes these.

Ingredients:
3 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup sunflower oil
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups grated zucchini
3 cups all-purpose flour (I use 1 cup whole wheat and 2 cups unbleached)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Coat 2 12-cup muffin pans with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat together eggs, sugar, and oil.  Add cocoa powder, vanilla, and zucchini.  Stir well.

Add the dry ingredients, and stir until just blended.  Stir in the chocolate chips. Divide the batter into the muffin cups.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.

You are supposed to let the muffins cool before you eat them.  Yeah, right.
