INGREDIENTS

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded, unpeeled zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour or pastry flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips plus 2 tablespoons for optional topping
INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F / 176 C.
  • Place a little coconut oil in each muffin tin. You can also use muffin liners. I have found just a bit of coconut oil rubbed in the muffin tin does the trick without making extra waste.
  • With your hands, squeeze shredded zucchini to remove excess water from the zucchini. You can do this over a sink. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Give it a stir and set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, add in egg, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla. Whisk or stir until combined. Then, add in the mashed banana and mix again. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in shredded zucchini and 1/3 cup chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the chocolate chip zucchini batter to a muffin tin. Fill each muffin tin 3/4 of the way. Top the muffins with optional 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the chocolate chip zucchini muffins cool.
NOTES

Notes

When eating these chocolate chip zucchini muffins, they taste best reheated so they are nice, warm and the chocolate is gooey.
