Ingrédients
ÉCHELLE
- 1½ cup grated zucchini, measure before squeezing moisture out
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup avocado oil or olive oil
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1¼ cups whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
Préparation
- Preheat your oven to 375℉ and line a 12-hole muffin tin. Set aside.
- Place pre-measured shredded zucchini in the middle of a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Place drained zucchini in a large bowl. Add eggs, oil, maple syrup, vanilla and applesauce. Whisk to combine.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir together until just combined, without overmixing.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin tin compartments, filling each compartment about ¾ full. Top with additional chocolate chips, if desired.
- Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Let cool 10 minutes before transferring the muffins to a wire cooling rack. Allow leftovers to cool completely before storing.
Notes
- If you have a kitchen thermometer, bake until your muffins reach 200℉ in the center to avoid overbaking.
- Store muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
