Ingredients
- – 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) granulated sugar
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) packed light brown sugar
- – 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil
- – 3 large eggs
- – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
- – 2 1/2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
- – 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon
- – 2 cups (300 g) finely grated zucchini slightly drained
- – 1 cup (175 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- – 1/2 cup (90 g) mini dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and prepare a muffin tin by either greasing it with nonstick spray or placing paper liners in each cup.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until they are well-mixed.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon by whisking them together.
- Slowly incorporate the dry mix into the wet mixture, stirring until just blended.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini so it is evenly mixed throughout the batter, then add the semisweet chocolate chips and mix in.
- Portion the batter into the muffin tin using a large cookie scoop, filling each cup.
- Optionally, sprinkle mini dark chocolate chips on top of each muffin before placing them in the oven.
- Place the muffins in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes.
Notes
- Ensure the zucchini is finely grated and slightly drained to prevent excess moisture in the muffins.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, opt for dark cocoa powder over regular cocoa powder.
- Try adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to enhance texture and flavor.
