Discover how to make moist and delicious chocolate chip zucchini muffins with this easy recipe from Mei. Learn tips for distributing chocolate chips and balancing sweetness with the natural moisture of zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini), squeezed dry
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to prevent soggy muffins.
  • For even chocolate chip distribution, toss them with a tablespoon of the dry flour mixture before adding to the batter.
  • Adjust the amount of chocolate chips to your preference.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
