Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 units eggs
  • 1 small to medium zucchini, grated (about 2 cups, no need to press out the water)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, almond flour, rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: maple syrup, applesauce, coconut oil (or melted butter), and eggs. Mix until everything is well combined.
  4. Grate the zucchini using the medium side of a box grater. You do not need to remove any excess water.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips into the batter.
Baking
  1. Portion the batter into lined or greased muffin tins, filling each cup full to make 12 muffins.
  2. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  3. Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. Do NOT open the oven door while baking, as this can cause the muffins to sink.

Notes

Serve these muffins warm with a pat of butter for a comforting snack. They are also great at room temperature, making them perfect for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up. You can enjoy them plain or pair them with a cup of coffee or tea. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for about three months. Use a medium-sized grater for zucchini for even texture. Add more chocolate chips for extra chocolate flavor, and consider spices for more depth.
