I have generous neighbor that recently gave me a few large zucchinis. Generally we slice them, marinade in italian dressing and grill. Today I decided to do a little baking and found this recipe on Jamie Cooks it up! I made only a few changes from her recipe and the kids are gobbling them up!
Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins (adapted from Jamie Cooks it up!)
3 1/2 C white flour
1 C Wheat flour
1 1/2 C sugar
1/2 C cocoa
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
3/4 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1 1/2 C oil
1 1/2 C milk
3 eggs
2 t vanilla
2 C shredded zucchini
1 1/2 C semi sweet chocolate chips
Mix wet ingredients (including sugar & zucchini). In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients. Mix dry with wet until just combined. Add chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes for standard muffins, 13-15 minutes for mini muffins
Yield: 24 standard + 48 mini muffins
These were moist and chocolatey, just like you want a chocolate muffin to be. My kids had no clue there was a healthy dose of zucchini (which is exactly what I wanted!).
