Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Hershey's Special Dark)

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups finely grated zucchini, slightly drained
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini milk chocolate chips, optional

  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in zucchini until it is evenly distributed into the batter. Stir in semisweet chocolate chips.

Tips:

  • Use a grater with large holes: This will help create long, thin zucchini shreds that will blend seamlessly into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are fully cooked.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These double chocolate zucchini muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to use up your summer zucchini. They're moist, chocolatey, and packed with zucchini flavor. They're also easy to make and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, give these muffins a try!
