Description

These Moist Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins are tender, chocolatey, and secretly packed with fresh zucchini. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or lunchboxes, they’re lightly spiced, ultra-moist, and freezer-friendly. A family favorite that kids and adults will love!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (no need to peel)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare zucchini: Grate zucchini with a box grater. Lightly blot with paper towels to remove excess moisture, but don’t dry completely.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk eggs, oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in zucchini & chocolate: Add grated zucchini and chocolate chips, folding until evenly distributed.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Divide batter evenly. Bake 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool & enjoy: Let muffins cool in the tin 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

  • Don’t peel the zucchini—the skin melts right in.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter for light, fluffy muffins.
  • Check doneness at 18 minutes to prevent dryness.
  • For toddler-friendly muffins, bake in a mini muffin tin.
  • Freeze extras for up to 3 months and reheat in the microwave.
