These Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins are a delightful and healthy treat, perfect for any time of the day. These muffins blend the natural sweetness of ripe bananas and honey with the moisture of grated zucchini, creating a soft and tender texture.
The mashed bananas are providing a base of flavor and moisture, complemented by finely shredded zucchini, which adds a subtle earthiness and keeps the muffins incredibly tender. Instead of using refined sugar, the muffins are sweetened with honey, which enhances the flavors and adds a touch of warmth. A hint of cinnamon add a touch of spice. Dark chocolate chips are mixed into the batter, melting into delicious pockets of sweetness with every bite.
Baked to golden perfection, these muffins have a fluffy interior and a slightly crisp top. They are a great way to enjoy a tasty treat while sneaking in some vegetables. Enjoy these Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins warm from the oven or as a snack on the go.
How to make Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a 12-cavity muffin pan with paper liners. Grate the zucchini using the small holes of a grater, sprinkle salt over the grated zucchini, and let them sit for 3-5 minutes. Transfer the zucchini to a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then set aside.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine. Stir in the oil until fully incorporated. Next, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon, and mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the squeezed zucchini and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix the batter. Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top.
Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown. Let them cool slightly before enjoying these delicious and moist treats! If you try them out, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how they turn out for you.
