Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
Report
Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are made without flour or added oil, but you'd never know just by tasting them! They are a healthy treat with a sneaky serving of veggies in each bite.

Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1 cup raw almond butter
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a standard muffin tin with 12 parchment cupcake liners. Place the shredded zucchini into the center of a thin dish towel, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Transfer the squeezed zucchini into a large bowl, and add in the almond butter, coconut sugar, cacao powder, eggs, baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Stir well until the batter looks thick and glossy.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, if using, and then use a 1/4 cup to scoop the batter into the 12 baking cups. Top with a few extra chocolate chips, if desired.
- Bake at 350ºF until the muffins have risen and feel firm to a light touch in the center, about 25 minutes. (Your kitchen should smell like brownies when they are done!)
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. You can serve them warm or cold, but I think they have the best flavor when they are at room temperature. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 of 12 muffins, without the optional chocolate chips. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- You can use raw cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips to keep this recipe refined-sugar-free.
- If you prefer to use baking powder, you can use 1 teaspoon of baking powder to replace the baking soda.
