Ingredients

  • 1 cup zucchini, grated (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 2 1/4 cups just add water pancake mix (I prefer Kodiak Cakes!)
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350F. Prep your zucchini (1, grated) by grating with a box grater. Use a bit of cheesecloth or paper towel to squeeze all the zucchini shreds and remove excess water. Use cooking spray or avocado oil to grease a 12 count muffin pan, or use silicone baking liners (I do not recommend paper for these, they’ll stick!).
  2. Mix: In a large mixing bowl, mix the drained zucchini shreds, pancake mix (2 1/4 cups), milk (1 1/4 cups), brown sugar (1/3 cup), egg (1), vanilla (1 teaspoon) and cinnamon (1 teaspoon) until well combined. Add the chocolate chips (1/2 cup) and mix them in. Divide all the batter between the prepared 12 muffin tin wells. They’ll be filled almost to the top. Sprinkle the tops with extra chocolate chips if desired.
  3. Bake: Bake muffins in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes. Muffins are done baking when they’re golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Serve & store: Let the muffins cool for a couple minutes, then use a butter knife around the edges of the muffins to gently loosen from the sides. Place muffins on a cooling rack and let them cool completely. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days.
