Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes |A Chocolate Delight
These chocolate zucchini cupcakes with poured chocolate frosting…Lemme tell you, will change your life. They taste as chocolatey and sweet as they look and are pretty fast to throw together 🙂 Shredding the zucchini a little finer, wringing it out and then stirring it into the cake batter keeps these cupcakes moist while going mostly undetected because of all that cocoa powder. So delicious!
Main Ingredients Needed
Start by gathering up these ingredients to make these incredible Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes:
For the Cupcakes
- Butter + Vegetable oil – to flavor and moisten.
- Sugar – to sweeten.
- Vanilla + Cocoa Powder – two flavoring ingredients. Vanilla is more subtle while the unsweetened cocoa powder makes these cupcakes chocolatey.
- Egg – used for structure and texture.
- Sour Cream – for creamy texture.
- Baking Soda+ Baking Powder – to help the cupcakes rise.
- Salt – to balance out all the flavors.
- Flour – this fills out the cupcakes.
- Zucchini – for its high moisture content. Be sure to wring out with paper towels before adding to the batter.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips – to sweeten and to add more chocolatey goodness.
For the Frosting
- Butter – for flavor.
- Chocolate Syrup – for that chocolatey flavor (I used Hershey’s brand).
- Milk – for a pourable consistency.
- Vanilla – for flavor.
- Powdered Sugar – to sweeten and to thicken the frosting.
- Sprinkles (optional) – add some red and white sprinkles for festive Valentine’s Day cupcakes.
How to Make Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes |Directions
For full details on how to make Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes, see the recipe card down below 🙂
Step 1: Preheat Oven + Grate Zucchini
Preheat the oven.
Wash and grate zucchinis. Wring out excess water and set aside. I used my stand mixer and grater attachment, but a manual box grater will do the job as well. Line muffin tins with paper liners and set them aside.
Step 2: Mix
Add butter, oil, sugar, vanilla, egg, and sour cream in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Slowly incorporate dry ingredients. Scrape sides of the bowl and stir again to ensure even mixing. Stir in grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
Step 3: Fill Muffin Tins + Bake
Scoop into lined muffin tins bake until completely cooked.
Step 4: Make Frosting
Once cupcakes come out of the oven, melt butter, chocolate syrup and milk together in a small saucepan. Once butter has melted and mixture has come to a light bubble, remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth.
Spoon over warm cupcakes and top with sprinkles if desired. I was a little heavy-handed, but that is not a bad problem to have. #Ilovechocolate
After everything cools, the tops start to harden slightly and they become even more amazing!

Made these today and they are so so so good! I found them even better than zucchini-less chocolate cupcakes!!
I have a qs though : Do you wring the zucchini before you measure the 1 & 1/2 cup or after ? The zucchini was very visible and while I don’t mind seeing my vegetables, I had trouble convincing my picky brother to eat them. I measured the required amount after wringing. Do you think that that caused the zucchini amount to be more and that’s why they showed?
thank you 🙂

I would make Banana-Chocolate Cake in late summer when all of those over ripe bananas appear overnight. I’d be sure to use that snazzy grater to grate and freeze measured portions of zucchini. You know… the zucchini that multiplies in your garden or a friend ‘gifts’ to you. Simple… grate, drain and blot on tea towels, and portion in 1-2 cup sizes. I store mine in zip-lock baggies, being careful to push out as much air as possible. I freeze these on cookie sheets before placing them in a plastic freezer bag with a zip closure. The few that are left in my freezer after six months still look fresh.
I think the first thing I would make would be some kind of yeast bread. I haven’t
made any for quite awhile, and I’m sure it would be a breeze to do in the Kitchen Aid.
I would make cookies with it.
I want to make lots of cookies!
Every year as a tradition for my Father In Law, I make his late Mom’s German Chocolate Cake for his Birthday. This would be great for the triple layers!!!

I use my Kitchen-Aid everyday…sometimes more! I make anything in it that involves mixing. My wrists have been having tendinitis, so this really helps ease that burden. I love to make bread, cakes, cookies, corn bread, frosting, sauces, etc. I sure could use a new one since mine is breaking down… 🙂
I love to bake so I would use the mixer for baking cookies, cupcakes, banana bread, etc! The food processor would be an amazing addition and would come in handy when making soups and cutting veggies!
Hmmm. Someone said they’d make mashed potatoes in the stand mixer, never thought about doing that before. We make lots of sweets around here, cookies, bread, zucchini bread is my favorite SO I am thinking these cupcakes might be a WINNER!

I have a small baking business from my home and I would want to make a zucchini bread with this!!! Plus tons and tons of others!

The possibilities are endless!! I’ve always wanted one to make breads and desserts and dinner! My kids and I could really have fun with this!!
I’m a bread girl and just mixed up my breadsticks this morning using my bread machine so I think I’d give them a try using this to see how they turn out. Those cupcakes look so good too!

I have been craving carrot cake, I think that would have to be made first!
I was just thinking of making a chocolate baked good with zucchini! It would be fun to use this mixer and attachment (in my FAVORITE color!) to try these muffins. Thanks Lauren!
I would make these! My little guy would love these!
I am craving the ginger cream bars you made, love ginger!
I will make chocolate meringues with cream cheese…yummm 🙂
Brownies! I’d make lots of brownies. Thanks for this giveaway 🙂
Japanese cheesecake would be the first thing i would make!
I would make this new “christmas cake” recipe I found– it’s popular in Japan and is made of a sponge-like cake with a whipped cream frosting and strawberries in the middle (perfect since they’re in season right now).
Banana bread.
The first thing I would make is a rich creamy cheesecake.
I’d make… uh… hmm… I want to say zucchini bread or something but I hate buying them out of season! So probably hash browns as part of a breakfast for dinner deal.
How lovely! I can’t wait to bake some of your mouthwatering cookies hehe! Keeping fingers crossed and hoping this is an international giveaway!
i would make lots of muffins and breads.
I would love to win the beauty especially with the attachments!!!
If I would win„ I’ll make lots of cookies and cupcakes for my little girl..^_^
Oh man I need a new KitchenAid AND a new food processor, so this would be so awesome to win! First I’d make a cake for Valentine’s Day then I’d use the processor to make salsa. Yummmmm
I have grandchild’s birthday cake to make soon !
Looks delish!
OMG, this would be great to make a New York Cheesecake!
I cannot even name all the things I would use it for. The first would probably be my middle daughter’s birthday cake. My hand mixer is just about worn out from all the cakes and frosting!
Oh my gosh! I love the food processor attachment!! What would I make… well, my life easier! 🙂
I’ll make cupcakes.
So many choices but I am sure some kind of cake would win the battle!
I would love to whip up an angel food cake!
I would love to make these cupcakes!!

Everything!
what wouldn’t i make with a new kitchenaid?! I am really trying to ‘helthify’ my baking recipes. So I’m sure it would be something involving coconut oil and cookies 🙂
These cupcakes!
Always wanted one of these!!
How fun! A Kitchenaid mixer and attachment giveaway and just in time! My poor, faithful, 30 plus year old Kitchenaid mixer is so “crying” every time I use it! No, seriously! Being a scratch baker with 4 children, grand-children, heck, the whole neighborhood at times, it has been my constant companion in baking all kinds of confections through-out the years! Can’t forget the mashed potatoes, whipped cream, etc. I love the dough hook for making my own pizza dough and OMGosh yummy caramel rolls from scratch, too. (OK, so I have resorted to coaxing, gently telling my mixer it can do the dough one more time. So far, so good but know it is only a matter of time. Honestly, I would rather retire my old friend than have it die and a chance at winning would make that possible!). Thank you, Lauren, for the chocolate zucchini cupcake recipe…wow, the grater attachment would make so many things possible! Thank you to my Kitchenaid for all the wonderful memories we have made together through the years! (Oh, just between You and Me, Lauren, I do always include my secret ingredients…fun; an unexpected giggle-let the flour fly into the air; and a whole lot of LOVE in all you do!). Thank you for making me smile today. This is the first time I have posted a comment…it was fun! (Put your web URL in. Hope that was correct.). Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! And congratulations to whoever the lucky winner is of this great giveaway!
A batch of cookies of course! 🙂
I want to make chocolate cake
I would make desserts for our Bible study group. Thanks for the chance to win!!!
My family loves when I also make dessert for after dinner. So, maybe a cake of some sort?
Wow!! This would be so fun to have in my kitchen!!

I WOULD USE THE FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENT TO SLICE VEGGIES TO DEHYDRATE.
I LOVE ZUCCHINI BREAD, PUMPKIN BREAD, AND CARROT CAKE.

My aunts famous 8 layer chocolate cake!

I loved using my Mom’s Kitchenaid when I lived at home; now I would love to have one of my own. I have a zucchini bread recipe that everyone wants to have whenever I make it (no can do, old family recipe….) so I’d most likely start with that one!
More like what wouldn’t I make!! I love to bake and cook…the possibilities are endless!! These cupcakes look amazing…and the ease of a food processor attachment makes them a must!!

I would make sticky toffee pudding cake! My food processor just died, so having an attachment to grind up the dates would be perfect!
I absolutely love to make any type of cookies, but I always have to do it by hand because I don’t have a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. This would be perfect for my baking adventures 🙂
Especially dark chocolate cupcakes with a raspberry buttercream will be first on my list of what to make with this thing! My son turns 10 in 2 weeks and this is what he has requested. Next on that list is a potato gratin, rye bread, mashed potatoes, shredded chicken for chicken noodle soup, zucchini pie, grilled squash, seriously this list could go on for days
I’ve never had Zucchini in baked goods before, so I’d start with these cupcakes!
I want to make these cupcakes – they look delicious!
Oh my goodness – I have an old KitchenAid mixer that belonged to my grandma. It must have been one of the first made because I’m 58 now! It can no longer be used because the motor has given up. I really don’t want to wait to inherit my mother’s and would love to have another stand-up mixer. My grandkids sure would benefit from Grandma’s cakes and cookies!!!
I would make too many cakes, brownies, etc. to mention!!! 😀
Cookies, cakes, breads, you name it 😉 I have an ancient one that I got used, so it would be fun to see the difference.
Well, these cupcakes for a start!
Anything chocolate I would love to make in this beautiful red Kitchen Aid mixer! I love the color which would be perfect in my kitchen.
I have a chocolate PB cake due next weekend, so probably that :p
What WOULDNT I make with a new Kitchen Aid mixer?? Plus, I have no food processor!! Omg the doors that would open for this amateur (but really trying) baker!! My daughter’s fav is plain ok’ chocolate chip cookies, so we’d prob start with those.

I am a student at university and since beginning my degree I have discovered that I love to cook and bake, so a KitchenAid Mixer is literally what I dream of at night! I don’t have the funds to get all of the tools that I need to, so winning a KitchenAid Mixer would allow me to make so many kinds of cookies, cakes, sides, breads, pastries, and main courses with ease and accuracy. I would love to start a food blog/YouTube baking channel, and the KitchenAid Mixer would easily be the star of the show!
Thank you so much for this opportunity – and I’m excited to try our these cupcakes Lauren! I can’t wait to impress my boyfriend’s mother with these (See, I can make something besides Oreo Bottomed Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Oreo Frosting!)
