We\u2019re not quite sure who started baking with zucchini, but we couldn\u2019t be more thankful for their intuition. Thanks to zucchini\u2019s high water content, 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 If you’re wondering how obvious the zucchini is, don’t worry, you can hardly taste it, but you’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 Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, beat the egg, canola oil, milk, lemon juice and vanilla extract together.<\/p>\n Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Stop mixing the batter once the wet and dry ingredients just come together. You don\u2019t want to over-develop the gluten by mixing too much\u2014it’ll result in tough, dense muffins.<\/p>\n With a rubber spatula, fold in the shredded zucchini, chocolate chips and walnuts.<\/p>\n Fill 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full with batter. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> If you have a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, use it to fill the muffin cups with the batter. A scoop makes it easier to transfer the batter and fill the cups. Plus, it helps ensure the same amount of batter goes into each one.<\/p>\n We all want to know the 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 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 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 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 how to measure ingredients<\/a> accurately. Accidentally adding too much flour can make any bake dry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These soft, tender chocolate chip zucchini muffins can be made whether you have a bumper
