Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 pieces eggs, large
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups zucchini, grated (packed)
• 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons milk (if batter is too thick)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Stir the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips gently. If the batter feels too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and stir just to combine.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
