Preheat 350°F oven

2 / 1 dozen cup muffin tins, greased and floured

Medium mixing bowl

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purposes flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup olive or grapeseed oil
3 cups grated zucchini
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In another bowl, whip together eggs and oil until frothy.
Thoroughly mix sugar into egg mixture.
Mix zucchini and walnuts into the egg mixture.
Stir together the dry ingredients and wet ingredients until a wet batter forms with no dry lumps.
Spoon batter into muffin cups until filled to 2/3 full
Place muffin tins into 350F degree oven.
Bake until toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean, 15-20 minutes.
