Moist and chocolatey muffins packed with grated zucchini for a sneaky veggie boost. Perfect for kids and a quick homemade snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (170 g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. Grate about 1 ½ cups of zucchini (roughly 2 medium zucchinis). Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy muffins. Fold batter gently to keep muffins tender. Tent with foil if muffins brown too fast. Store in airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate up to a week. Freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months.
