Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

March 8, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 12 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Saturday!  Since my blog was down on a  Sunday morning, I thought I would use my time and make today’s recipe.  This was a good call on my part!  So today I am bringing you my Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins.
Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins are moist, light, fluffy and taste so good considering I didn’t use a lot of sugar in them. Ohh, and they are amazing warmed, fresh out of the oven. They are chock full of chocolate chips, zucchini and of course a little banana.

Get this, I didn’t add any fat to the recipe. I used greek yogurt and milk to make them moist and delicious. Since I didn’t add any fat, I highly recommend spraying your muffin tin and liners with cooking spray. They tend to stick to the wrappers. I didn’t have to much of an issue using tin foil muffin liners. But trust me, you don’t even notice there is not fat in them. My Husband loved them and he is the first to say, these are dry and with these muffins and said they were really good!

I think they taste best with just a little dollop of butter in them. Oh how I love butter on muffins. Yummy!
Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
The muffins come in at 150 calories, which I don’t think is bad considering they taste sweet from the banana and the little sugar I added and it beats the calories of the muffins you get at the store or coffee shop. I have to say nothing beats homemade muffins and the smell of it baking in the oven, oh yah baby!!

Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

So this weekend, why not whip together a batch of your favorite muffins? I have to admit these muffins go to the top of my list for favorite muffins. I can’t get over that my Husband liked them and he doesn’t like zucchini at all! This is one way to get him to each his veggies. lol

Have a wonderful weekend!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    Just made these – yum! Should I store the leftover ones in the fridge or at room temp?

      So glad you like them. I stored mine in the freezer and would take one out and let it sit for a few minutes on the counter to defrost. Then micorwave it, so it gets warm and pop some butter on it.

    Yum! I made these last night, and I love them. I’ve been experimenting with cutting down on (or substituting some of) the sugar in my other muffin recipes, and they just never turn out. I’m glad to have found at least one that doesn’t have over a cup of sugar and still tastes delicious. 🙂

      Thank you Whitney! Yeah, I don’t think you need all of that sugar that is in some many muffin recipes. I am so glad you like this recipe! 🙂 Thank you so much for letting me know.

    I just made these this afternoon. I was looking for a recipe that was lower in fat and sugar. I was concerned when making them because batter seemed very thin and didn’t brown on top like a traditional muffin. After I let them cool just a few minutes, I ate one. They are YUMMY! I left the chocolate chips out of them because I didn’t have any. I also used vanilla greek lite yogurt. They were still really good. Thanks for a good recipe! Those doing WW I figured them to be 3 points w/o the chocolate chips!

      Hi Jennifer! I am so glad you like them! They are one of my favorite muffins! I bet using the vanilla greek yogurt was simply perfect, it probably gave it great flavor. Thank you so much for letting me know how the recipe came out!

    I made a double batch of the banana zuchinni chocolate chip muffins that I found on this website and they are moist and rose very nicely in the oven. However, when I took them out of the oven they fell. They still taste fine but definitely don’t look like the pictures here. I double checked the ingredients and I didn’t miss anything other than I doubled everything to make a double batch. Any suggestions as to where I went wrong?

    So delicious! I made one batch and my husband ate them up so quickly that I made a second batch a few days later and doubled it. I didn’t have plain yogurt the second time around, so I used peach fruit on the bottom yogurt instead and just avoided putting the little chunks of peaches in. The muffins tasted just as good! I found that I needed to bake them for two minutes extra than listed on the riepce in order for the toothpick to come out clean. Thanks for sharing tihs wonderful recipe!

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.
🍓
What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?

This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
