Ingredients
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or low-calorie sweetener equivalent
- 1 Greek yogurt vanilla or plain, 5.3-ounce container
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 cup almond milk or coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups zucchini squeezed, finely grated
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and cinnamon. Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- In another medium bowl, mix together the egg and sugar. Then stir in the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and almond milk.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until all the ingredients are just combined - do not overmix.
- Fold in the grated zucchini.
- Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line the pan with paper muffin liners. Divide the batter among the 12 cups.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the muffins.
- Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Cool in pan for 3 minutes then finish cooling on a wire rack.
Notes
- Use a Grater to grate the zucchini. You do not need to peel them. But Make sure you wash them thoroughly.
- Do not forget to drain the water out of the grated zucchini. Zucchini naturally contains a lot of water and this step is a must or you will not be happy with the results if you skip it.
- Do not over-mix the batter.
- Add in some nuts if you like. Some chopped walnuts will be great.
- Vegan option: To make these chocolate zucchini muffins vegan-friendly, use coconut dairy-free yogurt, coconut sugar or agave, egg substitute, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
