Shredded zucchini provides moisture and texture to these two-bite muffins, while chocolate chips add just the right amount of sweetness. A perfect quick breakfast or after-school snack, these muffins freeze well, so make a batch ahead of time for busy days.

Ingredients

¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup white whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup canola oil or unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups shredded and coarsely chopped zucchini
½ cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk eggs, sugar, oil (or butter) and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stir in zucchini and chocolate chips. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared muffin tin. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Tips

To make ahead: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or individually wrap in plastic and freeze for up to 1 month.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
