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 melted unsalted butter
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups shredded zucchini
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup 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. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn the muffins 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 wrap individually in plastic wrap 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.)
