Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, grated

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini. Set aside.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if there are a few lumps.

            Fold in Extras: Gently fold in the grated zucchini, walnuts, and chocolate chips, if using.

              Fill the Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Allow the zucchini bites to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Enjoy these delightful zucchini bread bites warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for a school snack or lunchbox treat!
