Enjoy moist and flavorful chocolate chip zucchini muffins, a delightful way to use up garden zucchini. These muffins perfectly balance the sweetness of chocolate with the subtle moisture of zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your grated zucchini is well-squeezed to remove excess moisture; this is key to avoiding gummy muffins.
  • For an even distribution of chocolate chips, toss them with a tablespoon of the flour mixture before folding them into the batter.
  • Adjust the amount of chocolate chips to your preference. You can also use mini chocolate chips for better distribution.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
