These easy one-bowl chocolate chip zucchini muffins are moist, slightly sweet, and perfect for a healthy snack or light breakfast. Made with simple ingredients and minimal cleanup, they offer a delicious balance of zucchini moisture and melty chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (67 g) brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (canola or light olive oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 1 medium) grated zucchini, finely shredded
  • ½ cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the fine side of a box grater. Do not squeeze out the moisture. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
  5. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
  7. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
  8. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until muffins are golden brown, spring back when pressed, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not squeeze out the moisture from the grated zucchini to keep muffins moist. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough muffins. Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Tent muffins with foil if browning too fast. Rotate muffin tin halfway through baking for even heat. Cool muffins on a wire rack to avoid sogginess.
