Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, white and brown sugars, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.
Add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in the milk until smooth.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and shredded zucchini until evenly distributed in the batter.
Scoop the batter into the muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle some additional chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
Feel free to substitute half of the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
