Delicious Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup grated zucchini
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini with the granulated and brown sugars, mixing well to combine.
3. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the zucchini mixture, whisking until smooth.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
