Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large (50g) egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120g) mashed overripe banana
  • 1 cup (120g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your muffin tin with liners or grease the cups thoroughly with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is emulsified and glossy.
  4. Fold in the mashed banana and the squeezed-dry grated zucchini, ensuring the vegetable is evenly distributed.
  5. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stop mixing the moment no streaks of white flour remain, then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 20–22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
