Thanks to zucchini\u2019s high water content, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/zucchini-dessert-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/zucchini-dessert-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">zucchini dessert recipes<\/a> are moister and more tender than those without. That\u2019s why we use the squash in these incredibly moist chocolate chip zucchini muffins.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how obvious the zucchini is, don&#8217;t worry, you can hardly taste it, but you&#8217;ll still get all the hidden added nutrients. Along with the sneaky green produce, our muffins are studded with mini chocolate chips, walnuts and cozy cinnamon. These zucchini chocolate chip muffins make an exceptional breakfast, midday snack or chocolatey dessert.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2005562 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Chocolate-Chip-Zucchini-Muffins-TOHVS24_3505_MF_05_28_1b.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins on a wooden table\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> This type of flour is our favorite for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/muffin-recipes-worth-waking-up-for\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/muffin-recipes-worth-waking-up-for\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">muffin recipes<\/a>. Its mix of hard and soft wheat creates a sturdy muffin with a tender crumb.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated sugar sweetens the muffins. You can use brown sugar in a pinch if that\u2019s all you have on hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking soda:<\/strong> Just 1 teaspoon baking soda creates a gorgeous rise in the muffins. Don\u2019t skip this leavening agent and double-check that the box in your pantry hasn\u2019t expired to avoid pulling dense, gummy muffins out of the oven.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon:<\/strong> Ground cinnamon is so cozy, warm and sweet that the scent of it is its own feast.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> Bring your one egg to room temperature and lightly beat it. Doing these steps beforehand will let the egg blend into the batter much more easily and create a tender muffin texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canola oil:<\/strong> Instead of melted butter, we opt for canola oil in our zucchini chocolate chip muffins because it keeps the muffins moist for a longer time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> While we call for 2% milk here, you can get away with almost any type of milk or cream that\u2019s in your fridge, from buttermilk to oat milk. Keep in mind that your choice may alter the texture and taste slightly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need only\u00a0about half a lemon to get 1 tablespoon lemon juice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> Floral and delicate, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best vanilla extract<\/a> can do wonders for homemade baked goods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zucchini:<\/strong> Not sure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-grate-zucchini\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-grate-zucchini\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to grate zucchini<\/a>?

This recipe already calls for walnuts and chips, but if you want to change things up a bit, try adding different types of nuts or chocolate. Go for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-white-chocolate-chips\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-white-chocolate-chips\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best white chocolate chips<\/a> or dark chocolate chunks for this recipe. You could also add in a sprinkling of dried cranberries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bump up the flavor:<\/strong> With all the prominent ingredients in these muffins (zucchini, chocolate, cinnamon and walnuts), you\u2019ll hardly believe there\u2019s room for more flavor. But subtle ingredients like citrus zest or a few more spices like ginger or cardamom can really tie everything together without being overpowering or out of place.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap carrots for the zucchini:<\/strong> Is your garden&#8217;s bumper crop carrots instead of zucchini? Use the same amount of carrots as you would zucchini in these zucchini muffins. And there&#8217;s no need to press excess moisture out of the carrots. Just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-shred-carrots\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-shred-carrots\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">shred the carrots<\/a> and stir them right into the batter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins<\/h2>\n<p>We all want to know the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-best-way-to-store-baked-goods\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-best-way-to-store-baked-goods\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best way to store baked goods<\/a> so they stay fresher for longer. To keep these zucchini chocolate chip muffins fresh, let them come to room temperature, then stash them in an airtight container lined with a paper towel. The paper towel will help absorb excess moisture, which is key since these zucchini muffins with chocolate chips are particularly packed with moisture. Leave the container on the counter and be sure to eat the muffins within three days.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze chocolate chip zucchini muffins?<\/h2>\n<p>Absolutely! Chocolate chip zucchini muffins freeze very well. Just let them cool to room temperature and store them in an airtight container lined with a paper towel. They can be frozen for up to two months and then thawed in the fridge overnight or on the counter for a few hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffin Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2004971 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Chocolate-Chip-Zucchini-Muffins-TOHVP24_3505_MF_05_28_2.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Should you dry out the zucchini before putting it in chocolate chip zucchini muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>Zucchini is full of water, which can throw off the texture of a recipe, so for the best results, grate your zucchini as normal and then pop the shreds into a fine mesh sieve or clean dish towel. Press and squeeze the squash until it releases most of the moisture inside.<\/p>\n<h3>Why are the zucchini muffins so dry?<\/h3>\n<p>Zucchini bakes tend to be fairly moist because this squash has a lot of water inside; however, if dry bakes are an issue for you, make sure that you are not overbaking the muffins and that you know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-measure-ingredients\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-measure-ingredients\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to measure ingredients<\/a> accurately.

For best results, grate your zucchini as normal, and then pop the shreds into a fine mesh sieve or dish towel. Press and squeeze the squash until it releases most of the moisture inside.<\/div><h3>What are some additional mix-ins for zucchini chocolate chip muffins?<\/h3><div>These zucchini muffins are a great canvas for mix-ins. This recipe already calls for walnuts and chocolate chips, but if you want to change things up a bit, try adding different types of nuts or chocolate. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-white-chocolate-chips\/\">White chocolate chips<\/a> or dark chocolate chunks would be great in this recipe. You could also add in a sprinkling of dried cranberries, citrus zest or a few more spices like ginger or cardamom.<\/div><h3>Can you substitute carrots for the zucchini?<\/h3><div>You certainly can swap in carrots for zucchini! Use the same amount of carrots as you would zucchini in this zucchini chocolate chip muffins recipe. And there's no need to press excess moisture out of the carrots. Just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-shred-carrots\/\">shred the carrots<\/a> and stir them right into the batter.<\/div><h3>Why are my zucchini muffins so dry?<\/h3><div>Zucchini bakes tend to be fairly moist because this squash has a lot of water inside. <span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">However, if dry bakes are an issue for you, make sure you are not overbaking the muffins and that you are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-measure-ingredients\/\">measuring baking ingredients<\/a> accurately.

To keep these muffins fresh, stash them in an airtight container lined with a paper towel, which will help absorb excess moisture.
