For best results, squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter. This will prevent the cupcakes from becoming soggy. Feel free to substitute other nuts for the walnuts, such as pecans or almonds. If you don't have unsweetened chocolate squares, you can use unsweetened cocoa powder instead. Use approximately 1/4 cup of cocoa powder mixed with 2 tablespoons of melted butter or oil. Store the frosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
