INGREDIENTS

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour or pastry flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup zucchini grated and unpeeled (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1/4 cup almond milk unsweetened
  • 1/2 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. You could also use a touch of vegetable oil.
  • With your hands, squeeze shredded zucchini to remove unnecessary water. You can do this over a sink. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a stir and set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, add in egg, honey, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla. Whisk or use a mixer until combined. Then, add in the mashed banana and almond milk and mix again. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in grated zucchini and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the 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 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.
