Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, make sure to squeeze out excess moisture)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater. If it’s very watery, you may want to squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring gently. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
