Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini excess moisture squeezed out green or yellow
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 lg eggs ~ Or 1 whole egg and 2 whites for less fat
  • 1/4 cup oil I used olive oil
  • 3 tbsp dairy-free milk of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup oat flour certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup fine blanched almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips I used allergy-friendly Enjoy Life
  • Optional extra mini chocolate chips to sprinkle on top of each muffin before baking.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line muffin tin with silicone or paper liners. Grease lightly if no liners are used.
  • Shred and measure zucchini, then squeeze out extra moisture. Paper towels or a cheesecloth work well for this.
  • In a large mixing bowl add zucchini, maple syrup, eggs, oil, dairy-free milk, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Make a well in the middle and add all dry ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and top with about 3 extra chocolate chips if desired.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. You can also test doneness with a toothpick inserted into the middle. The toothpick should come out clean.
