Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

My garden zucchini problem has a sweet solution: deeply chocolatey cupcakes where the shredded zucchini just disappears into the batter, topped with a salty-sweet peanut butter frosting. One bowl, one box of mix, and 12 cupcakes for around $12.

Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
