Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
1.25 cup all-purpose flour
1.25 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
0.25 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1.5 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon baking soda
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup finely shredded zucchini
0.667 cup fat-free milk
0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray. Or line with paper bake cups; coat with cooking spray.
In a large bowl stir together next eight ingredients (through salt). In a medium bowl combine remaining ingredients. Stir zucchini mixture into flour mixture just until combined. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each nearly full.
Bake 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in muffin cups 5 minutes; remove from cups. Serve warm or cool on a wire rack.
