Ingredients
- – 2 cups (250g) coarsely shredded zucchini, (around 1 medium large zucchini)
- – 1 cup (190g) packed brown sugar, granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- – ¾ cup (190g) dairy-free milk
- – ½ cup (125g) vegetable oil
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract, optional
- – 2 cups (250g) all-purpose plain flour, spoon and leveled (note 2 for gluten-free)
- – ½ cup (50g) cocoa powder
- – 3 teaspoons (15 ml) baking powder
- – 1/8 teaspoon (1 ml) salt, optional
- – ¾ cup (130g) vegan chocolate chips, optional, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a 12-slot muffin tin by placing liners in each section.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the liquid components, ensuring the zucchini is well integrated and not clumped.
- Add the dry components to the mixture, leaving out the chocolate chips for now. Stir until just mixed.
- Gently incorporate the chocolate chips into the batter if you’re using them.
- Spoon or scoop the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each section almost to the top.
- If you like, scatter a few more chocolate chips on the surface of each portion.
- Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 23-27 minutes, checking with a toothpick. A clean toothpick or one with a few crumbs indicates they’re done.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 10 minutes or until they are cool enough to handle, then transfer them to a wire rack.
- They are delicious whether you eat them warm or after they have cooled to room temperature.
- Keep any muffins that are not eaten immediately in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Alternatively, store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze them for a month.
