Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded zucchini, well-drained
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the shredded zucchini. This will prevent the muffins from becoming too wet.
- For an extra burst of chocolate flavor, you can toss the chocolate chips with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter.
- These muffins freeze well. Let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
