Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cupcakes.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup cupcake pan by lining it with cheerful paper liners.

2. Step 2

   In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, egg, milk, zesty lemon juice, and fragrant vanilla extract until the mixture is beautifully blended.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, delightful mini chocolate chips, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, creating a dry mixture that promises sweetness.

4. Step 4

   Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding them together with care until just combined—remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine! Next, introduce the shredded zucchini, folding it in until it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter, adding a hidden health boost.

5. Step 5

   Spoon the luscious batter into the prepared cupcake pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow for delightful rising.

6. Step 6

   Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake emerges clean, signaling that they are ready.

7. Step 7

   Once baked to perfection, transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely before indulging in their deliciousness.

   For an extra touch, consider drizzling a simple glaze or sprinkling powdered sugar on top before serving, elevating your cupcakes to a whole new level of delight!.
