Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a muffin tin with nonstick spray or liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and skim milk until smooth.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
Distribute the batter evenly in the muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
