Steps

Step 1: Prep the zucchini

You’ll be able to go two methods right here—both shred the zucchini utilizing a field grater (my favourite technique!) or mix it proper into the batter. I prefer to shred it as a result of it offers you a lighter, fluffier muffin. Mixing works too, however the texture is a bit of denser. In the event you’re mixing, chop the zucchini first so it blends up properly with the remainder of the components.

Step 2: Mix the whole lot (besides the chocolate chips)

Add all of the remaining components to a blender—aside from the chocolate chips—and mix till easy. Watch out to not over-blend, or the muffins may prove a bit robust. Regulate the feel; examine my pictures for a good suggestion of how the batter ought to look.

Step 3: Fold within the chocolate chips

Now combine in these darkish chocolate chips. They soften into the muffins and make each chunk really feel just a bit additional indulgent.

Step 4: Bake

Scoop the batter right into a muffin tin and bake at 350°F for about 20–22 minutes, or till the tops are simply set. You’ll be able to take pleasure in these heat (so melty and good) or allow them to cool and save for later. They’re additionally nice packed into lunches—we love that!
