These easy double chocolate zucchini muffins combine so many things I love in a recipe: chocolate, chocolate chips, zucchini, and cake mix. I’m all about doctored cake mix recipes when you get a result as yummy as zucchini chocolate chip muffins.
Or should I say chocolate zucchini chocolate chip muffins because there’s a ton of chocolate goodness going on in these babies.
Cake mixes can make for some of the yummiest recipes like easy peach cobbler dump cake, cake mix Oreo cookies, funfetti cake mix donuts, easy lemon bars with cake mix, even oatmeal raisin cake mix muffins—a great back-to-school breakfast recipe!
I’ve made a few zucchini recipes like blueberry zucchini bread and frosted zucchini brownies (holy yum!), but these Double Chocolate Zucchini muffins were by far the easiest. This cake mix recipe requires only six ingredients and about 10 minutes to prep—even less if you use pre-shredded zucchini.
What do I mean by pre-shredded? I’m talking shredding a bunch of that garden-ripe zucchini and then freezing it in two-cup portions in quart-size freezer bags. It means you can make all the yummy chocolate chip zucchini muffins you want all year long!
Keep in mind these double chocolate zucchini muffins are more light and fluffy than your typical muffin due to the cake mix. In fact, the texture is almost like a cupcake, but that didn’t stop me from eating my fair share before they’d completely cooled.
I prefer using kraft baking cups because I feel like they make zucchini chocolate chip muffins like these the star of the show. No flashy cupcake liners to distract you from all that moist, decadent, chocolaty goodness! Oh, and you’ll for sure want a large cookie dough scoop to fill that 12-cup muffin pan. It makes it super easy and creates less mess—two pretty awesome things.
