Or, love chocolate? Try making Chocolate Zucchini Muffins instead! They are moist, rich, and extremely chocolaty! All you need is a bit of Dutch process cocoa powder.
They’re quick to whip up: much quicker than zucchini bread! Try them as a quick snack slathered with almond butter, or even as a little dessert cake topped with whipped cream. As two cookbook authors who have made and tested dozens of muffin recipes and zucchini recipes, this one is a fast favorite.

Use both butter and oil. Butter and oil work uniquely in baked goods. Typically we use oil in our muffin recipes, but we love the richness in flavor and even texture that butter adds here. For even baking, fill every other cup in two 12-cup muffin tins. This helps the muffins to bake evenly, getting that nice domed top. Don’t have two muffin tins? You can bake in one tin: this simply achieves the nicest looking muffins. Fill the muffin cups up to the top. This recipe is optimized so you fill the muffin cups very full up to the top. This avoids stubby muffins and makes a lovely domed top. Baking at 375°F makes a taller muffin. A slightly hotter oven makes a taller and fluffier muffin (versus the standard 350°F). This recipe also has a good amount of leavener (baking powder and baking soda) to get the job done.
