Moist and delicious zucchini chocolate muffins made with grated zucchini, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips. Perfect for a healthy treat or breakfast snack.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, squeezed dry)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs together until smooth and creamy.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated zucchini and mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
