Servings: persons

3 whole Fresh Eggs
1/2 cups Vegetable Oil
1/2 cups Unsweetened Applesauce
1 cup Raw Honey
1 Tablespoon Molasses
3 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
4 cups Grated Zucchini, Peel 'n ALL
3 cups Unbleached All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Dark Chocolate Cocoa
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Allspice
1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg
3 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (fresh Or Stagnant)
1/2 cups Organic Sugar
1 cup Chopped Walnuts

1
Preheat oven to 350F.
2
Butter your muffin pans (I used one 12 cup and a second 6 cup - both regular size). Be sure to butter the tins well so the muffins bake perfectly and jump out of their pans when you release them after baking!
3
Add all of your wet ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
4
Add in all of your dry ingredients and mix well.
5
Don't overmix.
6
Fill up your buttered muffin pans...each cup gets all gooped up with batter, so fill them to the very tops!
7
Bake them in your preheated oven. Check them around 16-18 minutes for doneness. You will know they are ready when a tooth pick or cake tester inserted in the very center comes out clean.
8
Pull them out and turn them over onto cooling racks. If you've buttered well enough, then they will all fall right out - much to your delight, I'm sure! Turn them right sides up and allow to cool, if at ALL possible. Or properly ingest and have a glass of cold, fresh milk ready!
9
These are really good both with and without the chocolate. If you choose to omit the chocolate, also leave out on the organic sugar and call it a day. The Totally Zucchini Muffins really let the flavor of the zucchini shine through!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
