Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 225g) grated zucchini, squeezed lightly to remove excess moisture
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • For the Brown Sugar Crumble Topping:
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Grate about 1 ½ cups of zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In another bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar; whisk until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
  7. In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for crumble topping. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about ¾ full. Sprinkle crumble topping generously on each muffin.
  9. Bake for 22-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and crumble is golden.
  10. Cool muffins in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy muffins. Use cold butter for crumble topping to achieve crumbly texture. Tent muffins with foil if crumble browns too quickly. Use an ice cream scoop for uniform muffin sizes.
