CHOCOLATE CHIP ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
So when it comes to snacks & breakfast food, muffins are just a superior choice for so many reasons.
Especially when they come fully loaded with lots of chocolate. 😆
But seriously muffins are so easy to add to your weekly rotation of snacks & breakfast.
Why Muffins You Say?
- Well they can usually be made in one bowl with minimal effort
- So less clean up & and not a lot of EFFORT.... perfect Right?
- You can vary the ingredients based on what's in season
- Easy to pack for work or school
- Portion control- they're the perfect size for a quick snack or breakfast.
- So no second guessing on how much to eat
Plus who doesn't love a good muffin..... Such a great way to start the day along with your morning coffee. 😉
And you're also sneaking in extra veggies. And hubby is pretty keen anytime I give him extra greens.
So when I can manage that with breakfast, I feel like we already have a jump start for getting in the recommended requirement for veggies.
Which I believe for Vegetables it's 3 per day!
But anywho, I'm pretty sure the family won't even taste them in these muffins. 😆 They'll never know unless they spot a little green.
And since muffins are an awesomely perfect way to start the day, if you feel like switching it up with a little fruit... Then you should really try these Coconut Flour Blueberry Muffins.
They're loaded with blueberries and are really popular on the blog! So be sure and check those out and include them in your rotation.

Hello! I have been looking for a paleo zucchini muffins recipe for a while now. I think I might try these... but do you know if I can substitute the eggs for flax eggs or anything else?
Thanks
Stephanie
Hi Nathalie, I haven't personally tested the recipe with flax eggs, but I think they would work fine. Let me know if you try them!

Hi Stephanie! Just made these muffins yesterday and they turned out amazing! I’m not really a muffin gal but let me tell you, these were deeeelicious! I know it’s because of the 2 flours combined, make these melt in your mouth! I’m not gluten intolerant but I usually like to bake with no flour or with these types of flours. I used oat milk as I already had a carton opened and I baked my muffins an extra 10 minutes as they were not done in 25 minutes. This morning had one muffin with my coffee, did I say amazing already! Thank you for sharing your recipe! 🙂 Where can I post a pic for you?

These look fantastic. I love that you use cashew mink in these because it's such a creamy milk alternative.
