Zucchini Muffins with Cinnamon Chocolate
These are the most moist, soft, sweet and delicious zucchini muffins out there. And that's promising a lot, I know, but after countless tests, I feel confident saying these zucchini muffins with a swirl of cinnamon chocolate are the real deal. They have a simple chocolatey topping, a swipe of cinnamon chocolate inside, and a moist zucchini cake texture that you won't be able to get enough of.
Ingredients
FOR THE ZUCCHINI MUFFIN BATTER2 medium zucchini 340 grams
2 large eggs at room temperature
1/2 cup greek yogurt or skyr 130 grams
1/2 cup granulated sugar 110 grams
1/2 cup dark brown sugar 90 grams
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 120 grams
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 350 grams
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
FOR THE CINNAMON CHOCOLATE
1/2 cup 70% chocolate 84 grams
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.Use a rasp-style grater to grate the zucchini into a large bowl. Add in the eggs, yogurt or skyr, sugars, olive oil and vanilla and whisk together.
Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk to begin mixing the batter, and switch to a spatula when it becomes thick.
Chop the chocolate as finely as possible. Add it to a small bowl with the cinnamon and toss so that the cinnamon coats all the chocolate.
Cut a sheet of parchment paper into squares and lay them the cups of a jumbo muffin tin. If you are baking this in a normal sized muffin tin, see recipe notes.
Add a small amount of batter to each cup, then sprinkle in 1 heaping tablespoon of the chocolate cinnamon mixture. Layer more batter on top until the muffin tin is almost filled. Sprinkle a bit more of the chocolate cinnamon on top.
Bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, except for a touch of melted chocolate. Serve warm!
NOTES
If you are using a normal sized muffin tin, add a scant tablespoon of the chocolate mixture to the center of each muffin, and bake at 375°F for 18-20 minutes. This will make 12-14 muffins.
