Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 medium (9 oz) zucchini, grated (no need to wring dry)
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
⅔ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set rack in the middle position. Generously coat a muffin pan generously with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk to combine. Stir in the zucchini.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in ½ cup of the chocolate chips and all of the nuts (if using).
  • Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter into the muffin wells, filling each almost completely. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips onto the muffins, pressing them in lightly so they adhere. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Serve warm or room temperature.
  • The muffins are best served on the same day they are made, but will keep, wrapped in foil, at room temperature for 2 days.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 - 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap individual muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven until warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for small, firm zucchini that are free of blemishes. Avoid large or overgrown zucchini, as they tend to be more watery and less flavorful.
  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini blend into the batter and prevent it from becoming too chunky.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use dark chocolate chips: Dark chocolate chips will give the muffins a richer flavor. If you only have semisweet chocolate chips, you can add a bit of espresso powder to the batter to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Don't overfill the muffin cups: Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing and making a mess in your oven.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Zucchini chocolate chip mini muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up extra zucchini from your garden.
