Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (120ml)
  • 1/4 cup milk (60ml)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini about 1 medium
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (160g)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl combine egg, sugars, oil, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. (I use a large measuring cup for this)
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overmix!
  • Fold in shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.
  • Fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean with only a few crumbs attached.
  • Let the muffin cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
