Ingredients:
1. 1 cup lowfat buttermilk
2. 2 teaspoons baking soda
3. 5 cups powdered sugar, divided
4. 1/2 cup canola oil
5. 2 eggs
6. 2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
7. 2 cups grated zucchini
8. 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
9. 6 tablespoons neufchâtel, softened
10. 2 teaspoons zest and 1 tablespoon juice from 1 orange
Method: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with cupcake liners; set aside. Stir together buttermilk and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, beat 2 cups sugar and oil together with an electric mixer for 1 minute; beat in eggs one at a time; set aside. Toss flour with zucchini and stir into sugar mixture along with buttermilk mixture; fold in chocolate chips. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean, about 25 minutes; set aside to let cool completely.
To make frosting, beat together remaining sugar, neufchâtel, orange zest and juice in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Frost the cupcakes and serve.
