How to Make Double Chocolate Veggie Muffins

Once you have all your ingredients ready, here’s how to make these super-easy veggie muffins with chocolate.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut zucchini into 2 inch chunks and peel the banana.

Blend the zucchini, banana, spinach, egg, butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

In a large, separate mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder together.

Pour the mixture in blender over the dry mixture in the bowl. Stir until just barely combined; do not overmix.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Pour batter into a greased/lined muffin tin that holds 12 muffins. If desired, top with more chocolate chips.

Bake for 23-26 minutes. To test, insert a toothpick into the middle; it should come out mostly clean.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove muffins from the tin and transfer onto a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Muffins can be stored at room temperature for two days, or for a week in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen for up to three months.
