Notes

Tips for Making Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

If you are planning to double the recipe, make sure that your oven is big enough to hold twice as many muffins or bake in 2 steps.

Do not over mix the batter. Mix until it is just combined or you might end up with tough muffins.

Make sure to use mini chocolate chips. If you use regular sized chocolate chips, it will be too much and the muffins will fall apart.

If your batter is on the thicker side after adding the zucchini, thin it out with a little bit of milk until it reaches the right consistency.

Don't have dark chocolate chips. You can swap them. Use white chocolate, semi or milk chocolate chips.

Room temperature ingredients. Having room temperature milk, butter, and eggs when making muffins is going to give you perfectly fluffy muffins every time. When you use room temperature ingredients you get a smooth mixture that traps the air when mixing and then gives you fluffy muffins as they bake in the oven.
