Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in grated zucchini, grated carrots, and cooked sweet potato into the wet mixture.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
