Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups (225 grams) grated zucchini*
- 1 3/4 cup (219 grams) all purpose flour or gluten free 1:1 baking flour*
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup (110 grams) dairy free milk, room temperature
- 2 tbsp (15 grams) ground flaxseed mixed with 40 g water
- 1/3 cup (85 grams) dairy free yogurt, room temperature
- 1/3 cup (85 grams) unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (95 grams) coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make sure to prepare and weigh all ingredients before beginning. This includes grating the zucchini and patting it dry (weigh a second time after patting dry to make sure the zucchini weighs about 140 grams without water). Make sure to also prepare the ground flaxseed with the water in a separate small bowl and set aside to sit for 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a muffin tin with 10 liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use a whisk to combine the dairy free milk, coconut sugar, applesauce, dairy free yogurt, flaxseed mixture, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
- Add in the dry mixture, and use a rubber spatula to fold together until there are almost no more dry streaks. Then add in the zucchini and the chocolate chips, and continue to fold together until just mixed.
- Spoon the batter into each muffin tin, filling them to the top.
- Bake the muffins for 24-27 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and allow the muffins to cool in their tin for 10-15 minutes. This helps the liner pull off easily.
- Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an air tight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, 5 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
Notes
