How to Make Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins are a mashup of classic banana and zucchini muffins — if you’ve made either before, then you can definitely handle this simple recipe! Here’s a look at how the muffins are made:
Tips for Making Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
Coconut oil: I used coconut oil rather than butter because oil keeps things softer, springier, and moister long-term. It adds a nearly imperceptible undertone that’s sweeter and more fragrant than canola or vegetable oil, but substitute with them if you’d like. Measuring zucchini: Before adding the zucchini to the muffin batter, put it in a paper towel and squeeze tightly for about 10 seconds to remove some moisture. You should wind up with about 3/4 cup compacted shredded zucchini. Bake time: Depending on how moist your shredded zucchini and mashed banana are, your muffins may need to bake for more or less time than the recipe calls for. Watch the oven, not the clock when making these banana zucchini chocolate chip muffins.
