Ingredients

  • 1/3 C cacao powder or, cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 C whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 C all purpose unbleached flour
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/3 C. raw honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 C unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 C milk
  • 1 C zucchini shredded
  • 1/3 C chocolate chips save some for the tops!

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Spray or line your mini muffin pan.
  • In your KitchenAid, combine the applesauce, milk, eggs, vanilla, honey, and coconut oil and mix on medium (speed 2) just until blended.
  • Mix in flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, and zucchini (make sure the zucchini is squeezed out well so it's not too moist).
  • Evenly divide that batter in your muffin cups - you may get as many as 30 muffins (so 2 1/2 batches depending on the size of your muffin pan!)
  • Make 15-18 minutes -- test for doneness by putting a toothpick down the middle of a single muffin.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then remove from pan and continue to cool on a wire rack.
