Ingredients
Muffins
- ¾ cup salted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ⅔ cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup zucchini grated and wrung dry (about ½ medium zucchini)
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature.
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together for 2-3 minutes using an electric hand mixer.
- Add the milk, eggs, and zucchini. Mix again until the eggs are fully incorporated into the batter.
- Whisk in the baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and flour on medium speed until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the batter among the tin and bake for 20 minutes.
- Allow the muffins to cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing and placing on wire rack.
- Prepare the frosting by whipping all of the frosting ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Frost the muffins, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Unsure if the muffins are still cooked all the way? Poke one with a toothpick. As long as only a few crumbs stick to the toothpick, you can remove the pan from the oven. The muffins will finish baking as they cool.
- Do not over mix your batter. It may cause the muffins to turn out tough or dense instead of light and fluffy.
- Allow muffins to totally cool before frosting them.
- Grate zucchini and use a clean dish towel to wring out as much moisture as possible from it before adding it to the batter mixture.
