Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup applesauce
1 1/2 cups zucchini, shredded

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 F. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Add chocolate chips and gently mix to combine.

In a medium bowl, mix egg, vanilla, melted butter, apple sauce and zucchini. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just blended. Spoon batter into a muffin tin filled with muffin liners; fill to the top. Makes about a dozen muffins.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes.
