What you’ll need

1/4 c granulated sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c milk
1 large zucchini

How to make Quick Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
First things first… preheat the oven to 375° F.
In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients… Flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt… all into a the bowl and whisk.
Now this is what makes the matter smooth instead of textured like a typical zucchini muffin… Place milk and roughly chopped zucchini into a blender and blend it up.
Then, when the milk/zucchini mixture is smooth, add the egg and vanilla to the blender and give it a quick mix.
Next add the blended ingredients and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
The last step is to stir in the chocolate chips. I said 1 cup, but feel free to measure with your heart. I do!!
Finally, spoon the batter into lined or greased muffin tins and bake at 375° F for 20-25mins.
Allow the muffins to cool for at least 10mins before serving.
Notes
- Make them mini! but watch your cook time. I recommend starting your timer at 10 minutes and adding more time if needed. You’ll know they’re ready when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Using an ice cream scoop to fill your tins will result in more uniform muffins.
- Use whatever milk and sugar you prefer. This is a forgiving recipe.
- Instead of blending the ingredients, you can grate the zucchini and stir it in for a more traditional feel. I blend for a smooth batter because my babies prefer it that way, but they’re delicious either way!
