Ingredients

▢ 1 box chocolate cake mix
▢ 2 cups zucchini shredded - if using large zucchini, remove some of the skin and all the seeds
▢ 2 large eggs whisked
▢ 1 cup chocolate chips optional
▢ ½ cup water if needed to achieve batter consistency

Instructions

Makes 12 muffins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Spray muffin tin with cooking spray or use paper liners
Whisk eggs
Stir in shredded zucchini
Mix in chocolate cake mix
Add ½ cup water (If there is not enough moisture in the zucchini to create a batter, add water. I usually add ½ cup water)
Add optional 1 cup chocolate chips. Fold in to combine.
The image below shows the consistency of the batter. It's not very liquid.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Pick with a toothpick to see if the muffins are done. The toothpick should come out clean, not covered in batter. The amount of moisture in it will affect the baking time.

Notes

This recipe was inspired by the easy two ingredient pumpkin muffin. Another super easy recipe using a cake mix to speed things up.
