Instructions
Prepare Oven and Tray
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a muffin tray with paper liners. Keep it ready.
Grate the Zucchini
- Wash zucchini and grate it. Squeeze lightly to remove excess water but keep moisture.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together.
Beat Eggs and Sugar
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy.
Add Oil and Vanilla
- Pour oil and vanilla extract into the egg mixture. Mix until well combined.
Add Zucchini and Milk
- Add grated zucchini and milk. Stir gently to combine with the wet mixture.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Fold gently to avoid overmixing the batter.
Add Chocolate Chips
- Add chocolate chips to the batter. Fold carefully to distribute evenly without breaking chips.
Fill Muffin Cups
- Spoon batter into liners. Fill each about three-quarters full for proper rising.
Bake Muffins
- Bake for 20–22 minutes. Test with a toothpick; it should come out clean or slightly melted with chocolate.
Cool Muffins
- Remove muffins from oven. Let them cool for ten minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
- Do not overmix batter for fluffy muffins.
- Keep some chocolate chips aside to sprinkle on top.
- Use whole wheat flour for healthier muffins.
- Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Replace milk with yogurt for creamier texture.
- Freeze leftover muffins for up to two months.
