Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/3 cup mashed banana
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the oil, mashed banana, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Grate the zucchini and remove excess moisture by squeezing it over the sink. Stir it into the wet ingredients.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture along with the chocolate chips until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full. Bake for 17-18 minutes until the tops spring back when touched.
- Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
Feel free to add nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
