Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ยพ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ยฝ tsp baking powder
  • ยฝ tsp baking soda
  • ยผ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ยฝ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ยฝ cup packed (110g) brown sugar
  • ยฝ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (canola or sunflower)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ยฝ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ยฝ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, squeezed to remove excess water)
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Grate zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the squeezed zucchini and chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ยพ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Always squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent soggy muffins. Fold chocolate chips gently to avoid sinking. Use toothpick test to check doneness. Batter can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
