Light and Moist Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

These chocolate zucchini muffins strike the perfect balance between wholesome and indulgent. Packed with grated zucchini, they’re wonderfully moist without feeling heavy, and offer a sneaky way to work vegetables into your baking. A mix of plain yogurt, olive oil, and maple syrup gives the muffins richness and a natural touch of sweetness, while the combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flours provides a hearty but tender crumb. Cinnamon adds warmth and depth, complementing the cocoa without overpowering it.

What truly sets these muffins apart is the generous amount of chocolate chips folded into the batter—and sprinkled on top for good measure. The result is a double-chocolate treat with melty pockets of sweetness in every bite. They're great as an after-school snack, lunchbox surprise, or anytime pick-me-up, and they hold up beautifully for a few days on the counter. Whether you're a zucchini skeptic or a seasoned fan, these muffins are a satisfying way to enjoy the best of both worlds: veggies and chocolate.
