Ingredients

  • DRY INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/2 c white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 c coconut sugar
  • 1 c shredded zucchini (moisture removed)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 c cocoa powder
  • 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • WET INGREDIENTS
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 c unsweetened almond milk, separated (3/4 cup and 1/4 cup)
  • 1 c unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted

Instructions

1

First, preheat oven to 350ºF and line a muffin tin with muffin liners. We suggest also spraying your muffin liners with cooking spray just in case.

2

Next, place dry ingredients (except for the cocoa powder and chocolate chips) into a medium bowl and mix.

3

Then, in a large bowl crack 2 eggs and whisk. Add maple syrup, 3/4 cup almond milk, and pumpkin puree and mix again.

4

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix. Then, add in melted coconut oil and mix again.

5

Remove 1/2 cup of muffin batter without cocoa powder from the bowl. Set it aside for later.

6

Finally, add the cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and the last 1/4 cup of almond milk to the bowl. Mix well until combined.

7

Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 of the way full with the chocolate batter. Then, scoop 1 teaspoon of the non-chocolate muffin batter on top of each muffin.

8

Take a toothpick or knife and swirl the two layers together.

9

Then, place in the oven at 350ºF and bake for 18-22 minutes or until the center is fully cooked.

10

Let cool for 5 minutes and then remove from the muffin tin to continue cooling.
