Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins. Incredulous as it sounds, chocolate and zucchini compliment each other perfectly. With a moist inside and chocolate chips in every other bite combined with the warmth of cinnamon, this makes for a perfect breakfast treat.
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons best quality cocoa powder
- ¾ cup superfine sugar
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus ¼ cup for sprinkling
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 cup zucchini finely grated
Instructions
- Special equipment: Muffin tin with paper muffin cases
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, cinnamon, sugar, and ¾ cup of the chocolate chips into a large bowl.
- Pour all the liquid ingredients into a measuring jug. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, gently stir in the zucchini remembering that a lumpy batter makes the best muffins.
- Spoon into the prepared muffin cases. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips on top and then bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.

I’m soooo intrigued by zucchini in chocolate muffins!!!
Whoa! Fancy plate, Anuradha! That muffin looks deep, dark and deliicious!
I just love a recipe that can hide vegetables in it for my unsuspecting hubby and son but I’ll just have to call them ‘chocolate muffins’ so they don’t know! :-)
