Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and applesauce. Mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in the mashed bananas and grated zucchini until just incorporated.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your zucchini is well-drained to prevent soggy muffins.
  • For an extra moist muffin, you can add an extra tablespoon of applesauce or a bit more mashed banana.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of chocolate chips and walnuts to your preference.
  • These muffins freeze beautifully, making them great for meal prep.
