Grate zucchini, squash, and carrots. Set aside.

Place bananas, apples, beets, and raisins in food processor; pulse until it becomes a pulp. Set aside.

Combine eggs, oil, stevia (if using), and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat until well blended.

Stir in veggies, fruit, nuts, and chocolate pieces. Add to dry ingredients; stir until moistened. Mixture should be wet so that cooked muffins will not be dry.

Add a little milk at a time until batter is moist (cake-like).

Drop batter into lightly-oiled muffin pans. Bake abut 20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean (keep in mind that the chocolate will be runny, so avoid chocolate pieces when testing for doneness).

To avoid dryness, bake one muffin and taste to determine if more liquid is needed.

    Very healthy, and a great option for breakfast! My husband (who does not knowingly eat fruit) eats these daily. I vary the squash depending upon season. - 10/27/11
