I had made these muffins in my foods class earlier on in the year, and now is as good a time as any to post the recipe! Although it may sound a little strange to make muffins with zucchini, I promise you they tasted totally normal and sweet even, especially with added chocolate chips. Zucchini is a great source of vitamin C, and with ginger and cinnamon, there are additional health benefits as well.
Here's what you'll need:
yields 12 muffins
1 flax egg (1 tbsp flax meal, 3 tbsp water)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened, natural apple sauce
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 cup finely shredded zucchini
1 tsp pure vanilla
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line muffin tin.
2. Combine flax and water, stir and set aside until gel consistency forms.
3. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger in a large bowl.
4. Mix flax egg, sugar, apple sauce, oil, zucchini and vanilla. Add flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Stir in chips. Divide batter among muffin cups.
5. Bake 20 minutes or until browned and toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
6. Enjoy!!!
