These moist one-bowl chocolate chip zucchini muffins are quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion. They combine the subtle moisture of zucchini with sweet chocolate chips for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 2 medium) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • ¾ cup (135g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Add the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in the squeezed zucchini and mini chocolate chips until evenly mixed.
  6. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Squeeze the zucchini well to prevent sogginess. Use mini chocolate chips for even distribution. Check oven starting at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. For vegan, replace eggs with flax eggs and use coconut oil.
