How to Make Zucchini Chocolate Chunk Muffins With Pistachio Streusel

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  3. **Make the Streusel:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup chopped pistachios, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Cut in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. **Make the Muffin Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Gently fold in 2 cups grated zucchini and 1 cup chocolate chunks.
  9. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  10. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
