Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. Add the sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk briefly to combine.
  4. Add the eggs, oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the squeezed, grated zucchini and the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is key for moist, not soggy, muffins.
  • For double chocolate, toss the chocolate chips in 1 tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter; this helps prevent sinking.
  • These muffins freeze well for up to three months. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag.
