Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely grated zucchini about 1 medium
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips plus extra for topping

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini.
  • Combine: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for good measure.
  • Bake: Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few melty chocolate bits are fine).
  • Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
