I love to bake, so breakfast is one of my favorite meals to cook for. Like I mentioned before I have a ton of zucchini so I am posting once again another zucchini recipe. Mike was out of town so the kids and I ate light. We made eggs mixed with a bunch of sauted veggies and these yummy muffins. I added a couple of things, like pecans to the muffin mix as well and sprinkled them on top. The I did milk chocolate chips instead of semi sweet. They have good things for the kids as well as a little sweet to make them tasty! Hope you enjoy them!
Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
adapted from For the Love of Cooking
1 cup of flour
3/4 cup of sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup of cocoa powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 cup of milk
3/4 cup of canola oil
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup of zucchini, shredded
1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a muffin tray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and cocoa. Mix thoroughly.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, eggs, vanilla. Add the shredded zucchini and stir. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined then add the chocolate chips and nuts (optional). Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tray, filling each cup to the top, sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool before serving. Enjoy.
