Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) grated zucchini, squeezed and liquid drained
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Begin by setting your oven to 375°F and placing liners in a muffin pan.
- In a separate bowl, blend together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until well mixed. Add the milk and vegetable oil, mixing thoroughly. Then, incorporate the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Add the grated zucchini and stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool before serving them.
Notes
- Thoroughly drain grated zucchini to prevent excess moisture in muffins.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for optimal flavor.
- Avoid overmixing batter after adding dry ingredients to maintain muffin texture.
