Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini) Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate) For extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater. If it's very watery, you may want to squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Combining
  1. Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring gently. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Baking
  1. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Cooling
  1. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or crushed nuts on top. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or frozen for up to three months.
