Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 347kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa (I used a combination of dark cocoa and regular unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 medium zucchini shredded (about 1 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and lightly mist a muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together.
- Add the chocolate chips.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir the melted butter, sugar, Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla, and zucchini together.
- Add this to the dry ingredients, and fold together until just barely combined (overworking the batter could result in tough muffins).
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 5 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
