Why This Recipe Stands Out

We love easy cupcake recipes around here, and these Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes are a new favorite. Here’s why we can’t get enough of them:
  • Moist and Tender: As in our Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread, the zucchini lends a moistness to these cupcakes that you won’t believe. They’re fluffy, tender, and absolutely delicious.
  • Rich Chocolate Flavor: These cupcakes are super chocolatey. They’re made with unsweetened cocoa powder and studded with mini chocolate chips for the ultimate chocolate fix, like our Chocolate Zucchini Cake.
  • Incredible Frosting: The Orange-Ganache Frosting is to die for. It’s rich, creamy, and has the perfect hint of orange.
  • Great Way to Sneak in Veggies: Like in our Lemon Zucchini Bread, the zucchini keeps these cupcakes super moist, but you’d never guess it’s there.
