Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup finely shredded zucchini

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin with nonstick spray or liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Then fold in the skim milk and shredded zucchini along with chocolate chips.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with batter.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
