Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour (125 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder (50 grams)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda (5 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt (1.5 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) packed brown sugar (100 grams)
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (80 milliliters)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (5 milliliters)
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, 225 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) semi-sweet chocolate chips (90 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth.
- Gently fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Thoroughly squeeze excess moisture from grated zucchini to avoid a soggy texture in the muffins.
- Substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Enhance chocolate taste by adding espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
