Ingredients
For the Chocolate Crumble Topping
- ½ stick butter softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup flour
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
For the Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder Dutch process
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 2 cups grated zucchini drained
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Step by Step
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. I lined my pan with cut parchment to make them look a bit more like they are from the bakery.
- Make the crumb topping. Place butter, sugar, flour, and cocoa powder into a medium-sized bowl and press with a fork until you have a coarse bread crumb texture. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, eggs, vanilla, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the grated zucchini.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Fill the prepared muffin tin until the cups are 3/4 full. Sprinkle a tablespoon of the crumble topping on each muffin and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then remove the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
My tips
Store the muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
