Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 180 g) grated zucchini, packed and squeezed of excess moisture
  • ¾ cup (135 g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the fine side of a box grater. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  4. Stir in the granulated sugar to the dry ingredients.
  5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and mini chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy muffins. Use mini chocolate chips to prevent sinking. Do not overmix batter to keep muffins tender. Cover with foil if muffins brown too quickly. Room temperature eggs help create a fluffier crumb. For a crunchier top, sprinkle turbinado sugar before baking.
