Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

I believe in giving credit where credit is due. And Clark gets all the credit for these muffins. When I suggested zucchini bread, he said “No, let’s do muffins.”

Rock on. Everybody likes a muffin. And since that wasn’t good enough, he decided to throw in some chocolate chips for good measure.

Although he was texting me updates from the Fitchen all day, I was working last weekend when he baked these. Not only was the idea his, he also did the prep, process, and photos. A round of applause for Clark!

After I got off work, we met up and went to a dark little wine bar in TriBeCa to start our Saturday night. We were those nerdy people ogling photos of Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins while sipping reisling.

It’s hard to believe, but the boy loves chocolate and wine as much as I do. So I really can’t say I was too shocked when he showed me the photos and I saw chocolate chips all over the place. I didn’t know he was going to add that extra little something that was missing, but he always has a way of doing that.

    These are delicious! I substitute the gf with 1 C of regular flour, and they turn out like a dream. Once I added an extra egg on accident, and they were still delish! Thanks!

      Cool – good to know the flour can be swapped out without affecting the muffins! So glad you like this recipe! :D

    Those look amazing! You think i couldn't replace the flour for almondmeal or buckwheat. And maybe leave out the honey? I'm sooo craving these right now! Wonder how they would taste with blueberries and cinnamon as well... Oh my!

    Love, Daphne

      Perhaps a mixture of buckwheat, almond, and another type of flour - maybe chickpea or rice! Buckwheat is very dry and almond meal is very dense and oily. Instead of honey, you could try agave or maple syrup. :) Blueberries and cinnamon would be fantastic in these!

    Would coconut oil (melted) instead of olive oil work? I would love to make these tomorrow!

      That should work just fine! Coconut oil might change the flavor slightly, but not in a bad way. :)

    Think I could do this in a loaf pan?

      Yeah, surely! I think you would need to increase the baking time – stick a toothpick in the center to check for doneness. And I might also suggest covering it lightly with foil about halfway through, just so the longer baking time doesn't burn the top. Let us know how it works out! We've only made muffins out of the recipe.

      Such a versatile way to squeeze in a serving of veggies! They were delicious the day we baked them and for several days after - hope you enjoy!
