A deliciously sweet way to use up some grated zucchini - if using frozen zucchini, thaw first, then add it all, including the water that comes out of it.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, unpeeled
  • ½ cup chocolate chips, ideally miniature ones
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  3. In small bowl, whisk egg, oil, milk, lemon juice and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened, then fold in zucchini and chocolate chips. Fill muffin cups about ⅔ full and fill 2 empty spots ⅔ full with water to ensure even baking. Bake 19-22 minutes or until tops are browned and firm to the touch.
