Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, excess moisture squeezed out)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Additional:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the grated zucchini.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
- Swap chocolate chips for raisins if desired.
- These muffins freeze well—store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
