Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180 g)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch process) (60 g)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup milk (120 ml)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) grated zucchini, drained
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (90 g)
Instructions
- Warm up your oven to 350°F.
- Prepare a muffin tray by lining it with paper cups or giving it a light coat of non-stick spray, then set it aside.
- In a big mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, whisking until they are thoroughly blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix the oil, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate the shredded zucchini into the wet ingredients.
- Combine this wet mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each until they are about 3/4 full, and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool down completely.
- Store the muffins at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 3-5 days, or freeze them for a maximum of three months.
Notes
- Thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture from grated zucchini before adding to wet ingredients.
- Choose high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for optimal flavor and texture.
- Avoid overmixing batter to prevent dense muffins; use Dutch-processed cocoa for a richer chocolate taste.
